Flamengo took to the field early Sunday evening at Mineirão , in Belo Horizonte. The opponent was Cruzeiro and it marked Gabigol's reunion with the red-black team, which he left at the end of 2024. The goal of Filipe Luis' team was to remain at the top of the competition, since Palmeiras beat Vasco earlier in the round. However, the former's rule reigned again and with a penalty goal at the end, Gabigol gave Raposa the victory by 2x1, taking Fla out of the lead of the Brazilian.
Cruzeiro entered the field with the goal of neutralizing Flamengo's strong transition and from the beginning applied relentless marking in the attacking half. The home team, however, took a while to get its offensive game going. Until, at 14 minutes, Kaio Jorge received the ball 1-1 with Léo Pereira, beat the defender and unleashed a bomb to open the scoring. Flamengo maintained the majority of possession, but lacked the inspiration to attack the Raposa defense. Léo Jardim's team came close to extending the lead twice. First with Kaio Jorge, and then again with him. The forward received the ball in space again and took another shot, which Rossi palmed onto the crossbar. Christian had an opportunity in front of the area and was also stopped by the Argentine goalkeeper. Flamengo threatened to equalize with a header from Ortiz and, only in the final stretch, managed to put together a good play, which ended with a beautiful shot by Arrascaeta into the corner of Cássio's goal, to bring the game level at half-time.
At the beginning of the second half, the pace slowed down. Teams are less aggressive in marking and study the game more. However, Cruzeiro, playing at home, has more offensive actions, even with Flamengo trying to control possession. The Minas Gerais team starts to dominate the midfield more, making the Minas Gerais team give more work to the defense and goalkeeper Rossi. In this sense, the red-and-black goalkeeper had to make at least two good saves to prevent Cruzeiro's goal . As for Cássio, he only really had to work at 41 minutes, with a great save after a good header by Bruno Henrique.
In short, the final blow was reserved for the end, because in injury time, Leo Pereira committed a penalty and Gabigol went to take the shot. Rossi managed to defend it, but on the rebound, the ex-Flamengo player gave the final score to the duel.
With this result, Flamengo drops to second place in the Brazilian Championship , with 14 points, two less than Palmeiras, which reached 16. Now, the team led by Filipe Luís needs to turn things around, because in the middle of the week, there is the Libertadores. In this sense, the Rio de Janeiro team travels to Argentina, to face Central Córdoba. The duel takes place next Wednesday, at 9:30 pm.

Flamengo received important news this Monday (4). Midfielder Arrascaeta underwent tests at the club's training center, Ninho do Urubu, which ruled out any muscle injury in the thigh. Thus, the number 10 is fit to reinforce the team in the return match against Atlético-MG , in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.
The Uruguayan was substituted at halftime of the match against Ceará last weekend after complaining of muscle discomfort. The decision to withdraw him was made by coach Filipe Luís as a preventative measure , avoiding the worsening of a possible clinical condition.
The player's departure at half-time caused apprehension among fans, who feared the absence of the team's main playmaker in a decisive match. However, tests carried out on Monday ruled out any medical concerns , and Arrascaeta is available to the coaching staff for the match against Atlético-MG, on Wednesday (6).
Internally, the news was received enthusiastically, particularly given the tactical importance the midfielder represents to the team's attacking system . If he's fully fit by game day, Arrascaeta is likely to start.
After a 1-0 defeat in the first leg at Maracanã, Flamengo needs to win by two goals to secure a direct spot in the quarterfinals. If Flamengo wins by one goal, the match will go to penalties . A draw or another defeat in Belo Horizonte will result in Flamengo 's elimination from the competition.
