Mengão is winning! With another strong performance, the "Mais Querido" defeated Palmeiras 3-0 this Sunday at Maracanã, continuing their momentum in the Brazilian Championship. Gabigol, twice, and De Arrascaeta scored the red-and-black goals.

First time

In the first half, Flamengo dominated completely. And just 10 minutes in, Gabigol opened the scoring with a stunning goal. He received a beautiful pass from Arracaeta and slotted it over goalkeeper Weverton: 1-0. In the 37th minute, Mengão scored again. Bruno Henrique delivered a perfect cross for De Arrascaeta to head home: 2-0.

Second time

Flamengo held their own in the match and soon extended their lead. Diogo Barbosa brought down Rafinha in the box, and the referee awarded a penalty. In the 15th minute, Gabigol stepped up to take the penalty and scored: 3-0. It was the striker's 14th goal in the Brazilian Championship. He is the sole top scorer. This year, Gabigol already has 28 goals. 

And it ended like this: 3-0 Mengão, with a show from the team on the field and the Nation in the stands.

And now?

The Most Beloved returns to the field on Saturday (7th), at Mané Garrincha, to face Avaí, in the Brazilian Championship.
