Flamengo started the match with intense pressure, dominating the Tricolor from the first minutes of the game. Three minutes into the first half, Wallace headed dangerously, and Cavalieri made the save. Then, Kayke took advantage of a mistake by Gum and shot dangerously. The striker would appear again four minutes later in a play initiated by Everton. 

At eight minutes, Emerson took advantage of the rebound after a corner kick and scored the first goal for Flamengo. Just five minutes later, Pará passed to Kayke who didn't miss and scored the second. After that, the team started to control possession, maintaining the score until the end of the first half.

Eleven minutes into the second half, the referee awarded a penalty to Fluminense. Jean converted, and the Tricolor sought the equalizer, but eleven minutes later Paulinho sealed the victory with another goal from Kayke. 

At the end of the match, Everton received his second yellow card and was sent off, but nothing that could spoil the Flamengo celebration. Flamengo continues to climb the standings in the Brazilian Championship thanks to the strength of its fans.
