With the defeat, the team remained in seventh place, due to the other results of the round. The Most Beloved returns to the field on Sunday (19), against Corinthians, at Ilha do Urubu, at 17 pm.
The first half started poorly for Flamengo. Just seven minutes in, after a free kick, Cléber Reis won the ball in the air and headed it in to open the scoring for the home team. The ball hit Juan, deflecting off Diego Alves. Flamengo then pressed forward, looking for the equalizer. With their best chance, Everton fired a powerful shot from inside the box, but goalkeeper Wilson made a good save, but the rebound was blocked. The ball fell to Paquetá in the six-yard box, who took a shot, but Wilson saved again.
In the 24th minute, Everton felt a thigh injury and left the field, allowing Felipe Vizeu to come on. In the 35th minute, another great opportunity arose. Juan headed a corner kick, but Diego stopped the ball on the edge of the six-yard box. Everton tried to control the ball, but lost the ball and couldn't finish, and the first half ended with Everton ahead.
The second half was very similar, with Flamengo playing against a team focused solely on defense. Flamengo, however, created few clear-cut scoring chances, despite having much more possession. In the 14th minute, Rueda replaced Marcio Araújo with Vinicius Junior and threw the team into overdrive against Coritiba.
In the 17th minute, a great chance arose. Renê's cross was met by Éverton Ribeiro, who laid it off for Diego, but just as he was about to finish, Alan Santos cleared the ball along the byline, preventing the equalizer. Flamengo continued to try to cross, but to no avail. In the last minute, Paquetá had a free kick just outside the box, but the ball sailed over the crossbar, and the team ended up suffering defeat on the opposing side.
