In the Fla-Flu match of the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship, the score remained at zero at Maracanã. In a very lively classic on Sunday afternoon (09), Rubro-Negro created some chances and pressed, but could not score. Direct from the press booths, coach Jorge Jesus followed the match. 

The game

The first 45 minutes were marked by even play and outstanding goalkeeping performances from both teams. Flamengo's best chance of the match came in the 28th minute, when Diego received the ball in a great position inside the box, shot, and hit the post, narrowly missing the opening score. 

In the next half, in the third minute, Flamengo tried again with a shot from Bruno Henrique, but to no avail. Berrío tried from outside the box in the seventh minute, but the ball didn't pose much of a threat. In the 3th minute, goalkeeper Diego Alves made a great save on a shot from Marcos Paulo, saving Flamengo from conceding the first goal. With the goalkeepers on top, the score remained at 27-XNUMX at Maracanã. 

And now?

Flamengo returns to the field on Wednesday (12), at 21:30 pm, against CSA, at Mané Garrincha, for the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship. After the match, the national and international championships will stop due to the Copa América, returning only in July.
