Flamengo entered the field on Wednesday night by the Carioca Championship. After beating Botafogo by Supercopa, Filipe Luís spared some players and took to the Sabiá Park, in Minas Gerais, a mixed team to face the Portuguese. Even with the bad rapport, the red-black showed superiority and thrashed 5-0, with the goal of the goal of Arrascaeta and Juninho's first goal with the red-black shirt.

First time heated in Parque do Sabiá. The two teams created clear chances of goal, but Flamengo was more efficient and was at the front on the scoreboard. From the beginning, the red-black has taken on the attitude of having possession and proposing the game. The lack of rapport and the high lawn, however, resulted in a slow pace and from few offensive moves. Lusa, in turn, went well in the proposal to counteract with intensity to reach the goal. Romarinho was close to scoring at the beginning. The match alternated slower and more pressure moments, where the goalkeepers of both teams were highlighted. Matheus Cunha and Douglas Borges made great defenses to hold the scoring. For the Portuguese goalkeeper, it was not enough. At 36 minutes, Arrascaeta took a rebound in the area and released a blow, which Douglas saved the spread to the crossbar, but could not prevent Juninho from taking the leftover to score his first goal for Flamengo and ensure the advantage of leaving for the interval.
The second half was a copy of the first step. Filipe Luis's team returned with the objective of continuing to dominate the actions and the Portuguese trying to find spaces in the counterattack. The difference is that the governor's island team didn't have as many chances as in the first half. Thus, at 11 minutes, Allan finds Ayrton Lucas Livre in the Portuguese area. The side heads in the corner and Douglas Borges defends. The left is with Luiz Araújo, who hits to score Flamengo's second goal. Arrascaeta launches for Daniel Sales on the back of the Portuguese defense, the side advances in the area and is overthrown by Elicley. The referee marks the penalty brilliantly converted to Arrascaeta. With the result more than referred, Fla decreased the rhythm and without strength, the Portuguese did not disturb Matheus Cunha. However, Philip Luis's team arrived at the fourth goal. The touch goes wrong, the side does not dominate, but the defense returns to Arrascaeta. The midfielder suspends the ball and goes from coverage to Matheus, facing the goalkeeper, only hiding to the bottom of the net. At the end of the lights, Fla still found room for the fifth: Guilherme gives good pass for Wallace Yan to enter the area alone. The striker carries and hits the goalkeeper's exit.
now? From Rio. This is because Vasco, also with 13 points, plays the classic against Fluminense, later this Wednesday, at 21:30, out other games on Thursday. However, Filipe Luís team is not in danger of leaving the G4.
It is worth remembering that the Gávea team now has three classics followed by Cariocão. This is because on the 8th, it faces Fluminense, after the 12th, Botafogo and the 15th, Vasco da Gama, closing the confrontations of the first phase.

Cruzeiro remains interested in signing Matheus Gonçalves and believes it can close the deal. The deal was practically finalized but was canceled at the last minute—the player even learned of the move on the sidelines after a youth team match.
Now, the Minas Gerais club is back in the hunt to convince Flamengo to release the young attacking midfielder. According to Goal, Cruzeiro's vice president of football, Pedro Junio, is in contact with the player's staff , seeking a solution that will please all parties.
Currently, Cruzeiro is resisting the idea of selling the player directly to a competitor in the Brasileirão, a position supported by part of the board. Meanwhile, CSKA Moscow of Russia has also expressed interest but has not yet formalized an official offer. Matheus Gonçalves, however, wants to play for Cruzeiro , believing that at the Minas Gerais club he will get more minutes on the field and a chance to compete for a starting spot.
Cruzeiro's initial offer was €3.5 million (approximately R$22 million) for 50% of the player's economic rights . Flamengo would retain half of his transfer rights, aiming for a profit in any future negotiations. The impasse occurred in July, when the deal was finally finalized and Matheus Gonçalves was very close to leaving Ninho do Urubu.
While Matheus Gonçalves waits to know his future, Flamengo prepares for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16 against Internacional at Maracanã. The match is this Wednesday (13) at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) and will be broadcast on Rede Globo, ESPN and Disney+.

Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (13) to face Internacional in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. The ball rolls at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, with broadcast on Globo on open TV . The match will also be shown on ESPN, on subscription TV, and on Disney+, via streaming.
Coach Filipe Luís is expected to field Luiz Araújo in place of Arrascaeta , who is suspended due to a backlog of yellow cards. Thus, the likely lineup for the red-and-blacks is: Rossi; Varela (Emerson Royal), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro; Jorginho, Allan; Luiz Araújo, Plata, Samuel Lino, and Pedro.
The main news is Jorginho's return to the starting lineup after serving a suspension in the Brasileirão victory over Mirassol. The number 10 will be a significant absence, sitting out the decisive stage of the continental tournament. Expectations are high for a possible debut for Jorge Carrascal, who didn't leave the bench against Leão.
Flamengo and Internacional enter the field looking to open up an advantage for the return match, which will take place next Wednesday (20), at Beira-Rio. Rubro-Negro arrives buoyed by the leadership of the Brasileirão, even with a game less , after defeating Mirassol 2-1 last weekend - a result that helped to recover the spirit of the squad after the early elimination in the Copa do Brasil against Atlético-MG.
Internacional also won in the last Brasileirão match before facing Mengão , when they beat Red Bull Bragantino 3-1 away from home, and interrupted a sequence of four consecutive games without a win, where they were even eliminated from the Copa do Brasil by Fluminense.
The striker was the main highlight of Shabab Al-Ahli, from the United Arab Emirates, and was honored with an important individual award.
