The game
The match began with both teams looking to attack. In the first minute, Coritiba threatened but were thwarted by two great saves from Paulo Victor, who had already signaled offside. Paulinho responded by taking a shot from mid-range, but the ball sailed over the goalkeeper's crossbar. In the eighth minute, the referee awarded a penalty to the team from Paraná, and Kleber converted, opening the scoring. Flamengo maintained their stance and remained on the attack, creating chances through Éverton, Paulinho, and Kayke. The striker had the best chance in the 13th minute. The number 27 surged down the left, pulled the ball toward the middle, and unleashed a powerful shot that narrowly missed goalkeeper Wilson's top corner. The player posed a threat and was heavily marked by the opposition.
Despite remaining in the game, Flamengo conceded another goal in the 24th minute: Coritiba extended their lead with a goal from Henrique Almeida. In the final minutes of the first half, Flamengo posed significant threats with two excellent headers from Kayke and César Martins—in the defender's turn, goalkeeper Wilson pulled off a miracle save with a reflex save.
The team returned for the second half with Ederson replacing Paulinho. Flamengo found the best spaces to attack on the right flank and continued the pressure they exerted at the end of the first half, while Coritiba returned to defending. In the 25th minute, Oswaldo made his second substitution, replacing Canteros with Almir. The last substitution was Éverton for Marcelo Cirino five minutes later. The Rubro-Negro did not give up on the result, but the 2-0 score remained until the final whistle.
