By From the official website team - in
Flamengo failed to deliver a strong performance this Sunday (November 07.11th) and ended up losing 1-0 to Atlético Paranaense in Volta Redonda. After a subpar first half, the Rio de Janeiro club saw their rival score the winning goal from the penalty spot. Trailing, they still tried to get a result in the second half. They improved, but failed to find the net.
With the result, Flamengo's first opponent maintains 40 points and remains in 13th place. This Monday (11/08), the squad will have a day off and on Tuesday (11/09) they will return to work, at the club's CT, Ninho do Urubu, at 4:30 pm. In the next round, the Rubro-negro from Rio de Janeiro will travel to Minas Gerais to face Atlético-MG, on Saturday (11/13).
By starting young Negueba in midfield, Luxemburgo got what he wanted: to see Flamengo attack, but quickly. Just two minutes in, Negueba himself received the ball from Val Baiano at the edge of the box, but shot wide. From then on, the Rio de Janeiro Flamengo were unable to find the target, defending Atlético-PR goalkeeper Neto.
In contrast, the visiting team created three good scoring chances. The first, a Vitor shot, was saved by Marcelo Lomba. The second, the Flamengo goalkeeper again showed his work, but the third, a penalty kick conceded by Maldonado on Nieto, was converted by Paulo Baier: 1-0.
Halftime came, and Luxemburgo took off Deivid and Willians, bringing on Diego Maurício and Correa. The change was intended to improve the passing and movement of the attack. It didn't yield much of a result, so in the 13th minute, Flamengo's coach made another change: Marquinhos came on, Negueba went off.
Flamengo began to dominate the game, gaining more possession, but still failed to create any threat. Only in the 25th minute, after a header from Renato hit the crossbar, did the Rio de Janeiro Red-Blacks rouse their fans. After that, it was all Flamengo. On the right flank, Marquinhos and Léo Moura created the best plays.
Many crosses left Atlético-PR's defense desperate, but none of them resulted in a goal. The best moment, a point-blank shot by Diego Maurício, was brilliantly saved by goalkeeper Neto, who was largely responsible for the visiting team's victory.
