Fla seize first league win as Pulgar and Éverton deliver away | OneFootball

Match in Five Sentences: Flamengo beat Vitória 2-1 to claim their first league win of the season. Erick Pulgar rifled in from outside the box in the 15th minute after Éverton led a fast break. Éverton then doubled the lead in the fourth minute of first half stoppage time, Matheuzinho replied for Leão da Barra (51.), and Agustín Rossi saved Renato Kayzer's penalty (64.). Mengão made repeated last-ditch interventions to protect the advantage. Fla rise from 15th to 8th and visit Botafogo in the Carioca quarter-finals next.

Player of the Match: Éverton shaped the game with a goal and an assist, supplementing his end product with two key passes and six successful dribbles.

Stat of the Match: Agustín Rossi saved a penalty and made two saves in total, the decisive intervention that preserved Fla's lead.

Three Things We Learned: Nêgo created pressure with 10 attempts and seven corners, but the saved spot kick undercut their comeback push. Mengão absorbed waves after the restart with 41 clearances, illustrating a disciplined rearguard. Leão da Barra host Bahia de Feira in the Baiano next.
