Juan, in the first minute of the game, and debutant Diego Tardelli scored the goals that gave Flamengo a 2-1 victory over Volta Redonda, in the sixth round of the first half of the Rio de Janeiro championship. Flamengo won its tenth consecutive match at Maracanã and remained in the lead of the Taça Guanabara. Undefeated since October 18, 2007, the team led by Joel Santana could even lose to Fluminense on Sunday, which will finish the round as the group's leader. Rodrigo suffered a fracture in his right arm, will undergo surgery tomorrow and is initially expected to be out of action for six weeks.

Joel is expected to rest some starters for Sunday's game against Fluminense as the team leaves on Tuesday for Tacna where they will face Cel Bolognese in the Copa Libertadores on Wednesday.
