By From the team at Flamengo's official website - in
There was no shortage of desire, possession, and scoring opportunities. But, once again, the ball stubbornly refused to go in, and Flamengo suffered its second consecutive defeat in the Brazilian Championship. In coach Silas' debut, the team from Gávea conceded a goal just nine minutes into the first half, scored by Robert, and lost the match against Cruzeiro 1-0 at Parque do Sabiá in Uberlândia.
With this result, the team drops to fourteenth place, with 21 points. The next match for Flamengo is on Sunday (September 05.09th) against Santos at the Maracanã. The game should mark the debut of striker Deivid, signed from Fenerbahçe. Diogo, who suffered an injury in the game against Guarani, has been working hard to also be on the field.
Cruzeiro opens the scoring.
Flamengo started the game under pressure from Cruzeiro. Just seven minutes in, goalkeeper Marcelo Lomba tried to prevent a back pass from Leo Moura from going out of play, but he fumbled, and the ball fell to the Argentinian Montillo, who almost opened the scoring. It seemed like a warning to the Flamengo defense to be careful with Cruzeiro's number 10, who was one of the standout players for Universidad de Chile in the Libertadores Cup, including in the match where the Chileans eliminated the team from Gávea.
But two minutes later, Montillo made a good run down the right and crossed to Thiago Ribeiro. Lomba prevented the goal on the first shot, but on the rebound, Fabrício found Robert alone and the striker made it 1-0 for Cruzeiro. Flamengo felt the goal and Cruzeiro only failed to extend their lead thanks to Marcelo Lomba. While he almost made a mistake again with his feet, nearly losing the ball to Robert in the 25th minute, with his hands the number 29 saved the Flamengo team in the 16th minute with a beautiful shot from Montillo, in the 18th minute with a shot from Thiago Ribeiro, and in the 22nd minute with another attack from the Argentinian Montillo.
Flamengo then regrouped. In the following minute, Correa received a great pass from Willians, but shot wide as Fabio came out. At 25 minutes, another chance arose after a good run by Leo Moura down the right, but Juan missed his shot. At 36 minutes, young Diego Maurício, one of the most lucid players on the field, made a good play down the left, cut past the defender and shot powerfully, forcing a save from Fabio. Despite Flamengo's pressure, the score remained unchanged, and the last chance of the first half again belonged to Cruzeiro. Robert received a good pass in the area and shot. Once again, at 41 minutes.
Flamengo balances the game, but doesn't tie it.
Needing a win, Flamengo tried to control the offensive actions of the match. They gained more possession and sought to attack in the second half. However, they failed to translate their desire to win into clear goal-scoring opportunities. The best chances came from crosses that ended up becoming shots on goal.
First, Renato had a chance in the first minute, and then Leo Moura in the 14th minute, but Fabio saved both attempts. Cruzeiro, winning the match, only threatened on counter-attacks. Like the one that brought on young Wallyson, who came on in the second half and almost extended the lead in the 18th minute after a good pass from Montillo.
And if the match was already complicated for Flamengo, it became even more so when Jean was sent off in the 27th minute. In a challenge with Thiago Ribeiro, the Cruzeiro striker dived for the foul, and the Flamengo defender unfairly received a red card. From then on, Cruzeiro regained control of the game and held onto the result until the end.
