Impressive

After being losing the game, Flamengo changed the game and the players proved that they can win the title.

Flamengo and Sport were unable to score during the first half. Flamengo pushed Sport into their defensive field, but their defense was strong. Both goalkeepers weren’t too much tested and the referee made the wrong decision by saying a foul that would result on a penalty did not happened inside the box. When the ball was back in game from the foul Flamengo almost scored creating the most dangerous moment during the first half.

During the break, Caio Jr made one change. Obina came to the game substituting Josiel. The substitution did not show any results and after a corner Bruno made a mistake, leaving the goal and Roger headed to the goal. Sport 1-0. But it had passed only 9 minutes after the second half started.

Everton suffered an injury and was substituted by the argentine Sambueza and Flamengo started trying to score again and the players sometimes seemed to be despaired.

Vandinho got into the game substituting Ibson, who was very angry when he noticed he was going to be substituted. He had a point. Kleberson wasn’t playing very well and Ibson, at least was showing raça. The supporters began to call Caio Jr dumb, but he was right.

With 82 minutes on the clock, Juan passed Vandinho who gave back the ball to Juan. The left back winger got into the penalty area and scored. 1-1.

Seven minutes later, pushed by 40.000 fans, Flamengo scored again. Marcelinho crossed into the area and Vandinho jumped head and score. 2-1.

This is one of those victories that show our team is capable of winning the title. Flamengo is now with 46 points, tied with Cruzeiro. Grêmio has 50 points and Palmeiras, 49. These 3 teams will play tomorrow closing the 27th row. Cruzeiro will match São Paulo, at São Paulo. Palmeiras will play away, against Náutico. And Grêmio will face their major rivals, Internacional.

Here you can see the goals.
