The game
In the first half, Flamengo had the majority of possession, but Fluminense created the clearest opportunities by playing fast on the counterattack, but were thwarted by good saves from Muralha and Trauco, who cleared Léo's header off the line. For Flamengo, Diego's big chance to open the scoring fell to Cavalieri, who palmed it away for a corner from outside the box.
The second half was a lukewarm affair until the final minutes. In the 30th minute, Pará was sent off after receiving his second yellow card. With the numerical advantage, Fluminense launched an attack and opened the scoring shortly after, in the 37th minute, with Wendel. But Mengão didn't give up and pressed until the end, leveling the score. In the 46th minute, Diego took a corner kick and Willian Arão headed the ball into the net, giving the Espírito Santo nation a gift, who nearly filled the Flamengo sections at the Klebão stadium.
