In the 5-0 win over Fortaleza, this Sunday (1st), at Maracanã , Arrascaeta not only opened the scoring for Flamengo, but also reached the top of three important rankings among midfielders in the Brazilian Championship . According to data from the specialized portal SofaScore , the Uruguayan leads in goals, assists and direct participation in goals in the competition.
So far, Arrascaeta has scored nine goals in the Brasileirão and contributed four assists , which gives him a direct participation in 13 goals , the highest mark in the competition up to the 11th round. With these numbers, Flamengo's number 10 stands alone as the most decisive midfielder in the competition so far.
In the match against Fortaleza, the Rubro-Negro's number 10 was the name of the game from the first minutes. At 15 minutes into the first half, he received an assist from Léo Ortiz and finished with style to open the scoring. In the second half, he made a great pass for Luiz Araújo to score Flamengo 's third goal and seal another stellar performance.
With the result, Flamengo reached 24 points and took the lead in the Brasileirão, overtaking Palmeiras and Red Bull Bragantino . The São Paulo team was defeated by Cruzeiro and dropped to fourth place.
With high morale, Filipe Luís' team now focuses on the next objective: the Club World Cup . The debut will be on June 16, against Espérance de Tunis (TUN), at 10 pm (Brasília time), at Lincoln Financial Field, in Philadelphia, United States.

Cruzeiro lost to Vasco this Saturday (27), in São Januário, and saw Flamengo gain the chance to open up an advantage at the top of the Brasileirão if they beat Corinthians this Sunday (28). After the final whistle, striker Kaio Jorge lamented the negative result , but already projected the duel next Thursday (02), against Rubro-Negro, as a real decision.
Kaio Jorge before Flamengo vs Cruzeiro: "The Brasileirão is very complicated"
"We knew it would be a very difficult match; playing here is tough. We started the game a little off and conceded a goal, which made things difficult . When we got back into the game in the second half, we conceded another, which made things even more difficult," the striker declared.
" But we don't have time to regret it now; the Brasileirão is very complicated . And on Thursday we'll face Flamengo . So, on Thursday, Cruzeiro will have a decision," Kaio Jorge added in an interview with Amazon Prime.
With the defeat to Vasco, Cruzeiro remains with 50 points, in second place. The Minas Gerais team, however, runs the risk of seeing Flamengo increase the gap at the top , if Rubro-Negro beats Corinthians this Sunday (28).
Furthermore, Palmeiras could also overtake the Belo Horizonte team if they defeat Bahia in this round and take second place. Thus, Cruzeiro is under pressure both to maintain its position behind Flamengo and to avoid losing ground in the table.
The duel between Flamengo and Cruzeiro is scheduled for next Thursday (02), at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The match will be broadcast by Premiere (pay-per-view) throughout Brazil, in addition to full coverage by Gazeta do Urubu.
Before facing Cruzeiro, Flamengo faces Corinthians this Sunday (27), at 8:30 pm, at Neo Química Arena, for the 25th round of the Brasileirão . Mais Querido is the leader of the competition with 51 points, one more than Raposa, but with two games less. Alvinegro is in 11th place with 29 points.
Mengão should field a different team against Alvinegro than the one that faced Estudiantes in the Libertadores in the middle of the week

After the exhausting classification against Estudiantes in the Libertadores, Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (28), against Corinthians , for the 25th round of the Brasileirão. The duel will be at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena , and coach Filipe Luís must promote important changes in the lineup.
Full-back Ayrton Lucas, suspended after receiving a third yellow card, is out. To replace him, Filipe Luís could opt for Alex Sandro, who started against Estudiantes , or Matías Viña , who hasn't started a game since July 31st. Viña, who is also out, is Erick Pulgar, recovering from a fractured right foot, and Michael, who has left ankle pain.
Flamengo is expected to take to the field with a significantly changed team compared to its recent matches . The likely lineup is: Rossi; Emerson Royal, Danilo, Léo Pereira (Léo Ortiz) and Viña; Allan (Jorginho), De la Cruz, Arrascaeta (Carrascal); Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino (Everton Cebolinha) and Bruno Henrique (Pedro).
The coach is also expected to rest key players to preserve the squad for the remainder of the season. Saúl Ñíguez, Jorginho, and Gonzalo Plata could start on the bench , while the defensive duo of Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira, overworked with games, should be rotated with the introduction of Danilo.
Leader of the Brasileirão, Flamengo has 51 points . Cruzeiro, who lost to Vasco 2-0 this Saturday (27), is in second place with 50 points. Right behind them is Palmeiras, in third, with 49, and who still takes to the field this Sunday (28), against Bahia, at 4 pm. Corinthians is in 11th place with 29 points.
