Flamengo drew 0-0 with Atlético-PR this Sunday at Arena da Baixada, and remained in 11th place in the Brazilian Championship, with 31 points. Now the red-black team from Gávea will have two consecutive games at Maracanã, Saturday, against Sport, and on the 20th, against Coritiba.

The game was fiercely contested in midfield, with both teams struggling to create scoring chances. The home team started off by threatening with crosses into the box. Flamengo, on the other hand, played defensively, always relying on counterattacks. In the 15th minute, Marcinho challenged Álvaro and passed to Alex Mineiro in the box. The striker took a shot, but Bruno saved.

In the 30th minute, Airton had Flamengo's best chance of the first half. The number 5 dribbled past two players, burst into the box, but was blocked by Rhodolfo when he was about to shoot. In the 45th minute, Denis Marques took a shot, the ball deflected off Rhodolfo, and nearly fooled Galatto.

The second half began with Atlético-PR pressing. In the tenth minute, Márcio Azevedo made a good play and shot dangerously. In the 20th minute, Willians clashed with Márcio Azevedo and was sent off by referee Leandro Pedro Vuaden. With a man down, Andrade brought on Lenon in place of Petkovic.

The home team pressed Flamengo until the end, but Fla's defense was well positioned, holding on to the draw and securing another point in the Brazilian Championship.
