On Wednesday night (29), Flamengo beat Internacional in a match played in the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship. The game took place at the Kléber Andrade Stadium, in Cariacica (ES), and started at 19:30 pm. The red-black goal was scored by Ederson, after an assist from Peruvian center forward Paolo Guerrero.

Mais Querido's next match will be on Sunday (03), when they will face the Corinthians team. The game will start at 16 pm, and will take place at Itaquerão.

The game

During the first half of the match, the game was very evenly matched. Both teams' defenses were well-positioned, making it difficult to build up plays. Until the 18th minute, the Colorado defense cleared a corner kick from Alan Patrick. Willian Arão collected the rebound at the edge of the box and delivered a precise cross to Paolo Guerrero, who headed the ball into the middle, only for Ederson to tap the ball into the net.

After the goal, the Gaucho team pushed forward, but created few dangerous chances. The red-and-black defense's strong positioning, with numerous ball steals and interceptions, generated dangerous counterattacks. In one of these, Marcelo Cirino had the opportunity to extend the lead, but was stopped by a good save from Muriel.

In the second half, the Colorado goalkeeper continued to prevent Flamengo from extending their lead. The red-and-black team dominated the game, creating dangerous plays. On two occasions, Willian Arão and Guerrero had chances to score the second goal, but Muriel performed well on both occasions, keeping the score at 1-0.
