The game
The first half between Flamengo and Fortaleza featured a lot of challenging for the ball, especially in midfield, with no major danger for either side. There weren't a single goal-scoring opportunity. The first attack came three minutes into the second half and nearly ended in a goal for the Ceará team, with a header hitting the crossbar after a corner kick from the right.
Flamengo's response came in the 7th minute, in kind, but this time with the ball rolling. Number 7 Guilherme Ivo made a run down the right and crossed. João Ricardo, who came on in the second half, headed the ball over, skimming the crossbar. Fortaleza tried to get in with shots from outside the box, but their aim was poor.
Rubro-Negro opened the scoring in the 17th minute, thanks to a solo play by João Vitor. He received the ball from Gabriel Amancio, cleared the play, and shot into the right corner, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance. Eight minutes later, Fortaleza equalized with a header from Éden Luiz.
Even with greater possession, Flamengo couldn't create many offensive chances to worry the opposing defense. On the other hand, Fortaleza didn't pose many problems for the Flamengo defense. The situation didn't change until the final whistle, which sealed the draw.
