The game
The match started openly, with both teams alternating attacks. In the 12th minute, Paulo Victor made a great save, almost on the line, from a point-blank header by Paulo André. As the match continued, with Flamengo's advanced marking, the game became tense in midfield. In the 27th minute, a dangerous shot from Flamengo's Pará exploded off Wallace, who saved the Flamengo goal. But a few minutes later, the defender felt pain in the back of his left thigh and was replaced by César Martins. As the game progressed, Pará and Emerson were frequently used on the right, but the Flamengo team struggled to find the target. But the Nation roared for a goal in the 45th minute of the first half, when Alan Patrick started the play with a backheel pass to Kayke, who returned it to the midfielder for a beautiful shot. Before finding the net, the ball deflected off Paulinho and beat goalkeeper Fábio.
In the second half, the game remained fiercely contested. In the 20th minute, Emerson felt a thigh injury and was replaced by Marcelo Cirino. A few minutes later, Alan Patrick took a corner kick, Cruzeiro's defense cleared it, and, on the rebound, Luiz Antonio was there to score a stunning goal. Before the final whistle, in the 44th minute, Kayke forced Fábio into a great save with a well-placed shot, which the Cruzeiro goalkeeper palmed away for a corner. In stoppage time, Jajá came on for Paulinho, and the fans were delighted with the "olla" and the "olé" chants.
