“We slipped up…”: Léo Ortiz on Flamengo’s error in Vasco draw | OneFootball

What mistake was identified by Léo Ortiz from Flamengo?

The defender Léo Ortiz identified this Sunday (21) that Flamengo faltered due to the excess of missed opportunities in the 24th round of the Brasileirão. This is because the Rubro-Negro reached Vasco's goal at Maracanã several times but was unable to avoid a 1-1 draw.

— Man, I think our squad is so qualified that changes will happen throughout the year, there's nothing to do about it, it's a lot of games, little rest time between matches, so it's part of it. We're used to playing with everyone during training, Filipe is someone who doesn't usually distinguish between starters and reserves, so we can't associate this with today's draw. We failed to score more goals, we had clearer opportunities, and they had some, but not as clear — stated Léo Ortiz on the sidelines after the 1-1 draw against Vasco.

— But the game opened up a bit more in the second half, and we ended up being vulnerable to counterattacks. We conceded a goal from a set piece, which we know can decide championships; in many moments we managed to take advantage of this, but today we ended up faltering on that set piece and conceding the goal. And so, we ended up with this draw in the classic, but there's still a lot of the championship ahead, we have direct confrontations at home too, and we can also seek these points away from home — highlighted the Flamengo defender.
