Bruno Paulo is the top scorer in Carioca

LANCEPRESS!

Flamengo visited Duque de Caxias on Wednesday morning at Marrentão Stadium and drew 1-1 in the ninth round of the State Championship. With the result, the Rubro-Negro reached 22 points and took the provisional lead in the Carioca Junior Championship alongside Tigres, who will face Friburguense in Serra later this Wednesday.

Even away from home, Flamengo took the lead with striker Bruno Paulo's goal. It was his ninth goal in nine matches. He is the competition's top scorer. Duque de Caxias equalized late in the first half.

Flamengo is complaining about a goal wrongly disallowed in second-half stoppage time. Juninho scored, but the referee stopped the play without reason, causing outrage among the Flamengo fans.
