Second time
The second half remained evenly matched. Corinthians opened the scoring in the 16th minute with Clayson's penalty. Mengão equalized in the 45th minute with Gabigol, who capitalized on Cássio's rebound after Willian Arão's header. The score remained 1-1. Mengão reached 21 points and is third in the standings.
And now?
Flamengo returns to the field on Wednesday in Ecuador, where they face Emelec in the first game of the Libertadores round of 16.
