After securing his second win in two games as Flamengo's coach upon his return to the club, coach Oswaldo de Oliveira spoke to the press at the Arena Pernambuco, praising the team's performance.

Flamengo scored with a full Sport team. Of course, in a match between two teams, one less player ends up having a significant impact. This impacted the game's progress, but it doesn't detract from Flamengo's victory. We knew how to play against 11 men and also against 10. 

We wanted to do two things: lure the opponent into giving us space and attack. It happened less often than I expected, but it ended up working. The objective was fully achieved. In ten games, perhaps, with more confidence and an extra man, we'll be more daring. Right now, that's what we needed.

A victory is good at any time. It's crucial. First, it gives the players confidence, which is the most important thing we need. Then, we have to look at the opponents we've beaten. Sport hasn't lost here in a long time. For us, it's a huge achievement; it's a source of motivation and confidence.
