O JOGO

With a high press, Flamengo had the first chance after just five minutes. After a good move by Victor Hugo, Pedrinho shot first time, but the goalkeeper saved. In the 28th minute, Flamengo opened the scoring. Petterson went to the byline and passed to Victor Hugo, who beat the defender and finished into the back of the net. In the final play of the first half, Sport equalized with a free kick by Daniel.

In the second half, the Red-Blacks came back with the same attitude and had a great opportunity to extend their lead with Victor Hugo, who burst into the box and shot wide.
