BuzzFla - Art gallery against Chape

We've put together a list of amazing goals against our rivals this Sunday. It's every shot...

Flamengo and Chapecoense is a game with one guarantee: if a goal is scored, it'll be a beautiful one. And it might not be just one. There are games with two, three, or even more great goals. You can look at the list. There's always something beautiful there. In terms of balance in the matchup, it's not quite that close. The teams have faced each other 10 times so far, with seven victories for Flamengo and only one for Chapecoense. Do you know what that means? Nothing! It's just that we've won more. But when the ball rolls this Sunday at 16 pm at Arena Condá, everything will be a different story. And we'll see how it plays out in the end. But if there is a goal, you can bet it will be a great one. Like these ones here. 

1. What were those shots???

Back in 2014, in the second ever match between Flamengo and Chapecoense, the Maracanã was the stage for a stunning goal by the lanky Anderson Pico. Ten minutes into the second half, the full-back outpaced the defender, got to the ball first, and unleashed a right-footed shot from outside the box, giving the goalkeeper no chance. Amazing goal! Don't remember? Check it out below. 


The game ended 3-0 to Flamengo. Besides Pico, Nixon also scored two more. And the third was a sinister volley. Leo Moura cut in and crossed perfectly for the striker to fire home. Check it out. 


2. There is also

Arena Condá was also the scene of red-and-black paintings. Playing in Santa Catarina, Flamengo thrashed Chapecoense 3-1 in 2015, and Paulinho and Canteros created two masterpieces. Just 10 minutes into the first half, Cesar Martins moved to the right wing and crossed for Paulinho... well, look at that. 


A beautiful shot, unstoppable, but then Canteros thought "imagine if I'm not going to score a great goal too?" and took a shot that the goalkeeper couldn't even imagine how to save, in the 33rd minute of the first half. 


In the end, the victory crowned a spectacular performance by the team and made the Nation sleep happy with two new paintings in the art gallery. 

3. Spectacular play and shot to end the game

In 2016, another victory, another 3-1 at Arena Condá. And this time, another foreigner made his mark. Mancuello sealed the match, close to the final whistle, with the score at 2-1 for Flamengo. The Argentine's shot was beautiful, but what really mattered was the play itself. Ninety minutes on the clock, a corner for Flamengo, a short pass to buy time, right? Mancuello played a one-two with Guerrero, passed to Damião, received the ball back, and unleashed a powerful shot, leaving Danilo with no chance. 



Game over, victory guaranteed, and a play that sends just that special message to a group that loves to complain about everything and more. 


4. When one is not enough

On Ilha do Urubu, Flamengo vs. Chapecoense is a rout. And in 2017, things were serious. Diego scored two and Guerrero three. If Guerrero wanted to overdo it, scoring his first "hat trick" in the Manto, Diego didn't hold back and scored two GREAT GOALS. But truly great goals, like the Golzão da P... Let's see them all below, on FlaTV's exclusive camera. 


Is it worth remembering that both of them will be on the field soon? Yes, very much so. 

5. Important also counts 

In June 2017, playing in the CONMEBOL Copa Sudamericana, the teams met on Ilha do Urubu in the second leg. The first leg ended in a 0-0 draw. In Rio, as expected, Mengão put on another show, winning 4-0 and securing qualification. Playing in a suit that night, defender Juan made his mark, scoring the third goal of the match. Check it out. 


It was a gutsy goal, a beautiful shot, no doubt. But he's on this list because that night, Juan scored his 32nd goal and became Flamengo's second-highest scoring defender, behind only Junior Baiano. The feat means a lot to the idol. 

There's another matchup on Sunday. Flamengo vs. Chapecoense, at Arena Condá, at 16 p.m. Will there be a goal? We don't know, but if there is, you can bet it'll be on the list too.
