What is Flamengo’s situation in the Brasileirão?

Flamengo moved closer to the top of the Brasileirão last Sunday (10) after beating Grêmio 1-0 in the 15th round. After the match, full-back Emerson Royal commented on Palmeiras’ slip-up against Remo and stated that the Rubro-Negro need to focus on their own matches.

— For us, the important thing is always to win. Obviously, we know we are in direct competition with the teams above us, but we also know that we have to do our job — he said, before adding:

— It’s not just about Palmeiras. Regardless of the result of Palmeiras’ match, we have to focus on ours; we want to win every game. When we drew, we were a little upset because of the circumstances of the match, but we managed to come away with the win — concluded Royal.

How did the Flamengo vs. Grêmio match go?
