Even playing away from home, Flamengo demonstrated its game plan from the start: valuing possession. The "Mais Querido" exchanged passes in midfield and gave the green-and-white team few openings for attack. The first opportunity came in the seventh minute. Luiz Antonio crossed, and Eduardo headed the ball, but was blocked by the defense. Canteros took advantage of the loose ball and attempted a bicycle kick, but the ball went over the goal. Flamengo continued to play calmly in attack and confidently in defense. The red-and-black midfield constantly sought Eduardo, the only striker to start the match. And the goal came from the Brazilian/Croatian's head. In the 38th minute, Luiz Antonio crossed masterfully; the number 23 intelligently broke free and headed the ball over. Before the end of the first half, Flamengo suffered a setback: Jonas was sent off for his second yellow card.

Even with half a game remaining and a man down, Cristóvão Borges didn't change his game plan. Flamengo launched less attacking moves, but continued to value possession and pressure Coritiba in the opponent's half. Ten minutes into the second half, the coach made his first change, bringing on Paulinho for Gabriel. Four minutes later, he replaced Éverton and Eduardo with Arthur Maia and Marcelo Cirino. The Flamengo defense showed confidence. Wallace and Samir won numerous challenges both in the air and on the ground. Coritiba, taking advantage of their numerical advantage, began to grow on the field. But Flamengo knew how to close down when they didn't have possession and hold on to the attack when they did. Canteros and Paulinho tried to increase the score with individual plays, but the 10-1 score remained until the final whistle.
