The game

Flamengo started the match by pressing their opponents, looking for space and attacking with intensity. It didn't take long for them to find the net. In a good move down the left, Éverton found Felipe Vizeu inside the box, who opportunistically opened the scoring in the 7th minute. Three minutes later, the referee awarded a penalty by Juan on the opposing striker. The captain came off injured and was replaced by Rafael Dumas. Bruno Rangel converted, sealing the tie, which lasted until the end of the first half.

In the second half, Jayme de Almeida brought on Ederson and Emerson to replace Felipe Vizeu and Marcelo Cirino. Flamengo lost Éverton to a red card in the 22nd minute. Capitalizing on their numerical superiority, Chapecoense turned the game around with a free kick in the 34th minute.

Behind and a man down, Flamengo persisted until the end. In the 49th minute, in the final minute of stoppage time, the referee awarded a penalty to the "Mais Querido" (Flamengo's Favorite). Alan Patrick converted perfectly, sealing the victory.
