Summary
It was a tough game, with grit and determination. Mengão defeated Chapecoense 3-1 at Arena Condá, with goals from Diego and Leandro Damião, reaching 40 points and now second in the Brasileirão. The match was fiercely contested and open, with the opponent putting up a serious fight, but at the end of the 90 minutes, it was the Rubro-Negro who shone.
The Mais Querido (the most beloved team) started the match well and opened the scoring in the ninth minute. In a good play down the right, Pará fed Diego, who fired the ball into the net with his right foot. During the celebration, the number 35 "shined" the winger's boot, which the full-back smiled in gratitude.
From then on, the game became a tight affair. Mengão scored for the second time, but the referee flagged Guerrero for offside. It was Chapecoense who found the back of the net in the 41st minute. Cleber Santana struck a powerful shot from outside the box, Muralha palmed it away, and Kempes, opportunistic, equalized. The score remained 1-1 until the final whistle of the first half.
Second time
The second half began as the first had ended: with the match extremely close, with the players fighting for every inch of space. With the match becoming more difficult, coach Zé Ricardo changed the formation and, in the 17th minute, brought on Leandro Damião and Mancuello in place of Gabriel and Éverton.
The changes paid off, and with an engaging game, Flamengo began to put pressure on their opponents. After a great play between Leandro Damião and Guerrero, the Peruvian was awarded a penalty just before the final kick. Damião perfectly converted the penalty to score the second.
Chapecoense pressed, but Muralha held on with great efficiency. In the end, in stoppage time, from a short corner kick, Damião played a one-two with Mancuello, who burst into the box and slotted home the third goal for the red-and-blacks with his left foot, sealing the victory.
And now?
Flamengo is second in the Brasileirão with 40 points. With the World Cup Qualifiers underway, they will only play again against Ponte Preta on September 7, Wednesday, at 21:45 pm, in Cariacica.
