This is one of those nights Flamengo fans will never forget. This is Flamengo. They excel, they find a brilliant play when the situation is unfavorable, they lift their heads when elimination seems certain—in the eyes of others, of course—and they rise again. In the eyes of others, of course (pardon the redundancy). For those who are "once Flamengo," they never "disappear." They are always Flamengo.
The game began with a heavy blow: a goal just five minutes into the match. Rafael Silva, the scorer of the opposing goal, had been cut in his neck during his celebration, which, at least for everyone else, was likely to lead to an early elimination. Nothing of the sort.
The team remained focused, following the game plan, and pressing the opponent. Possession reached 80%, demonstrating their territorial and action dominance. It didn't take long for Éverton, after a beautiful play and a precious lob, to put the ball in the back of the net and tie the game at 1-1.
It sweeps me away
The Most Beloved kept pressing, searching for the second goal with every inch of the field, sliding tackles, fighting for the ball. The Sacred Mantle showed strength, tradition was evident. Flamengo is a star at home.
The goal was just like that, a brilliant one. Control, a lob, a wide angle, and a precious finish. A real winner. Jorge, a youngster from Ninho, made it 2-1 in the first half, leaving the entire Mengão team in contention for the spot.
Flamengo until death
And in games like these, the second half especially, is for those with a strong heart. Total pressure, the opposing goalkeeper defending even the slightest thought, the goalpost playing the villain, and everything that surrounds a good knockout match. But those who persist, insist, resist, and never give up, occasionally, in a sport as unpredictable as soccer, are rewarded.
Fernandinho, who had come on for Éverton minutes earlier, entered the box, made one, two, three feints, sent a bullet into the goal and brought the victory to a shout.
Consecrated on the lawn
If the defeat in Florianópolis hurt the Flamengo fans, goals from Alan Patrick and Marcelo Cirino allowed Flamengo to win by two goals despite conceding one and qualify.
And now?
Flamengo awaits the winner of the group between Real Garcilaso (PER) and Palestino (CHI) to find out their opponent in the next phase.
