Flamengo returned to the Brasileirão with a victory this Wednesday (July 14.07). After many training sessions in the preseason, the team showed character against Botafogo, at Maracanã, and finished the match, in which they dominated most of the time, with a 1-0 score. The goal, scored by Paulo Sérgio, was helped by Petkovic, who started the play with a masterful pass.
With the positive result, which continued a 10-year streak without losing to their rival in Brazilian championships, the current Brazilian champion moved closer to the competition leaders with 12 points. Next Sunday, Flamengo will face Atlético-GO at 16 pm at Serra Dourada Stadium in Goiânia.
In the first half, Flamengo showed it would dominate the match. The red-and-black players patiently held possession, while the opponent failed to threaten. In total, they had six shots on goal, the most dangerous coming from Vinícius Pacheco, one of the team's standout players.
Early in the second half, young Diego Maurício scared goalkeeper Jefferson with a good shot. But it wouldn't be from the feet of this "Gávea kid" that the red-and-black goal would come.
In the 14th minute, coach Rogério Lourenço introduced Paulo Sérgio in place of Diego Maurício, and nine minutes later, the substitution paid off. Petkovic delivered a wonderful pass to Vinícius Pacheco, who crossed the ball into the six-yard box. Paulo Sérgio had only to tap it into the goal, sealing the game's final score.
Until the end of the match, Flamengo still had a chance to extend its lead through Vinícius Pacheco, but the striker shot wide, one-on-one with Jefferson. Flamengo's defense managed to hold off Flamengo's momentum in the final minutes and secured the victory.
