Even with qualification for the next stage confirmed, Zé Ricardo repeated the lineup from the last few matches, bringing a full force to the field. The coach's decision was reflected in the team's performance, demonstrating increasingly strong synergy. During the first half, Flamengo dominated possession, creating good opportunities. However, Botafogo threatened with counterattacks.

In the 35th minute, Diego took a corner kick, which was cleared out by the black and white defense. The midfielder himself sent the ball to Éverton and then received it, lifting the ball into the box. Well-positioned center forward Paolo Guerrero displayed all his killer instincts, tapping the ball into the back of the net with his thigh. Despite a strong first half, the match went into halftime tied after Roger's goal.

In the second half, Zé Ricardo's men fiercely sought the winning goal. Pressing their opponents in their own half, the "Mais Querido" (Flamengo's Favorite) scored their second goal thanks to a player who had a special night. In his 200th match for Flamengo, Éverton scored the winning goal in the derby after a beautiful assist from Berrío.

The next match for the red-black team will be against América-MG, in the second round of the Primeira Liga Cup. The match will take place this Thursday (16), at Bezerrão Stadium, in Brasília, with the ball rolling from 21:30 pm.
