Flamengo did its part in the quest for the Brasileirão leadership.
Sovereign since the beginning, Rubro-Negro overwhelmed Fortaleza playing at Maracanã: 5 x 0.
With the right to another goal from top scorer Arrascaeta.
Bidding farewell in great style before the Super Club World Cup: became the LEADER of the Brazilian Championship.
Defender plays as 🔟 and Arrasca becomes a 9️⃣
Fortaleza was unable to pose a real threat to Rossi’s goal already in the 1st half.
Controlling the actions since the beginning, Flamengo deserved the goal.
João Ricardo prevented Bruno Henrique’s celebration.
So, it was up to Léo Ortiz to guarantee a “shirt” pass for Arrascaeta to score his NINTH goal in the Brasileirão.
Fla increases in the final stage
The second Rubro-Negro goal came just at 48′, with Evertton Araújo taking advantage of a rebound in the area.
Making it (and a lot) difficult for Laion’s mission and everything Vojvoda thought for the second half.
The third goal came at 56′. And with João Ricardo’s collaboration.
Vojvoda made three changes at once.
Michael increased after another participation from Varela (71′).
Without taking their foot off the gas, Filipe Luís’ team reached the fifth goal after a lethal attack (74′).
