O Flamengoguaranteed three more points in the Brazilian Championship after winning 1 x 0, remaining among the first placed with 58 points. David Luiz and Bruno Henrique were the main names on the field, showing consistency and helping Rubro-Negro to secure the result. However, Allan and Ayrton Lucas, who received criticism for their performance, were considered the team's negative highlights, with insecure decisions and low efficiency in defensive actions.
Ayrton Lucas's performance did not go unnoticed. The player demonstrated insecurity in marking, compromising the defensive sector with errors in some decisions. With a low presence in interceptions, Ayrton Lucas ended up receiving a second yellow card after committing a foul in stoppage time, being sent off and leaving the team with one less on the field at the end of the match. The lack of security in the marking resulted in a negative analysis of the athlete, which did not correspond to expectations.
FLAMENGO HAS HIGHS AND DOWNS
Another negative point of the night was Allan's performance, who also didn't have an inspired game. The player was unable to stand out and had a discreet performance, which impacted Flamengo's midfield sector. With few offensive and defensive contributions, Allan had difficulty keeping up with the pace of the match and was surpassed in some moves, which had a direct impact on the team's performance during the game.
On the other hand, David Luiz and Bruno Henrique were fundamental for Flamengo. David Luiz showed leadership and precision in interceptions, in addition to his experience in decisive moments. Bruno Henrique, in turn, was essential in the attack, creating good plays and putting pressure on the opposing defense. His presence was vital for Flamengo to maintain control of the match and secure the score, consolidating itself as one of the best on the field.
PLAYERS BELOW EXPECTED
With the victory, the Flamengo reaches 58 points, positioning itself among the first placed in the Brazilian Championship. The consistency of results has kept the team in a comfortable position, close to fighting for the title, despite some fluctuations in the individual performance of some players. The team has been showing good performance in recent matches, something that reinforces its presence among the favorites.

Estudiantes is already in Rio de Janeiro for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against Flamengo , scheduled for Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The Argentine team trained at Fluminense's facilities , preparing for the decisive duel.
Coach Eduardo Domínguez tested a more conservative formation, including an extra defensive midfielder in midfield, as a strategy to contain Flamengo's attacks. According to Radio Província 1270 in La Plata, the change could result in only one striker on the field , demonstrating a more solid defensive posture.
Estudiantes ' likely lineup for the clash includes: Muslera; Gómez, Nuñez, Rodríguez, Arzamendia; Ascacibar, Piovi, Amondarain, Medina, Tiago Palacios; Carrillo.
It's not yet clear whether Piovi will play as an extra midfielder or be replaced by Castro . Amondarain, despite being an attacking midfielder, could drop back and act as a third midfielder, depending on Domínguez's strategy in recent training sessions.
With the prospect of a more closed Argentine team, Flamengo, under the command of Filipe Luís, will have to work hard to break down Estudiantes' defense and seek a positive result in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals.

Up front, Bruno Henrique is recovered and available to play, expanding coach Filipe Luís's offensive options. Plata and Luiz Araújo are also options at wing. Léo Ortiz returns to the defensive system after missing the match against Juventude.
A possible Flamengo lineup for Thursday has: Rossi; Emerson Royal (or Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas (or Viña); Allan (or De La Cruz), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Pedro (or Bruno Henrique) and Samuel Lino.
According to information gathered, the club's coaching staff is likely to opt for midfielder Jorginho, who is recovering from a muscle edema. Although he is fit to play, the club does not want to risk losing him for an extended period.
Without Jorginho, coach Filipe Luís is evaluating the best alternatives for the position. De La Cruz and Saúl are the main candidates to form a partnership with Saúl in midfield . The coach will lead the final training session before the match on Wednesday (17) to determine his replacement.
Another confirmed absence is left-back Alex Sandro, who is nursing a calf injury and will be unfit to play. Ayrton Lucas and Matías Viña are competing for the starting spot on the left wing.
