In the second half, Alex Muralha made a great save in the 10th minute. Two minutes later, Jorge delivered a beautiful through ball. Fernandinho sped past, dribbled beautifully, and sent in a low cross. Vizeu got ahead of his marker and slotted it home: 2-0. With a strong lead, Flamengo continued to create chances.
