In another classic for the return leg of the Copa Rio, Flamengo drew with Fluminense, 1-1, on Wednesday afternoon (6), at Vale das Laranjeiras, in Xerém-RJ. With a beautiful goal, Crivelari scored for Rubro-Negro.

To be champions, the Meninas da Gávea need to beat Vasco in the last round and hope for at least a draw between Botafogo and Fluminense. 

The game
The derby had barely begun in Xerém when Mengão had already opened the scoring with a stunning goal! Crivelari received the ball in midfield, saw the goalkeeper out of position, and slotted it home to score a stunning goal: 1-0.

The red-and-black team dominated the early stages of the game, valuing passing in the attacking half. Fluminense, on the other hand, struggled to get the ball out of the box due to the red-and-black team's high marking. In the 21st minute, Glaucia passed to Gisseli, who entered the box, but the goalkeeper managed to clear the ball to the striker's feet.

In the 31st minute, Darlene took a corner kick into the box, and Daiane rose to head it dangerously, but the Tricolor goalkeeper made a good save. Flamengo had much more possession and created the better chances. After a strong first half, the Meninas da Gávea went into halftime with the advantage.

Less than a minute into the second half, the Mais Querido missed a great chance to extend their lead. Thaisa stole the ball in midfield and passed it to Gisseli, who got past the goalkeeper, and as she was about to shoot, the Tricolor defender made a save.

As the game progressed, the pace slowed, and chances were few and far between. Fluminense tried to attack, but the red-and-black defense was well-positioned and managed to neutralize their attacks.

At 39', Tricolor equalized with Mileninha, who chipped the ball over Karol Alves: 1-1. The red-black team, with Cristiane, still created a great chance to score the second in stoppage time, but the classic ended in a draw.
