Mano then explained how he sees the red-and-black team currently: "You need to analyze Flamengo this season, the last few games. With Saúl's arrival, the team has taken on new characteristics. It's a team that demands awareness, changing marking, and a lot of defensive balance . Our team performed well in this regard, offering little to an opponent of this quality," he concluded.
Flamengo dominated much of the match and opened the scoring eight minutes into the second half, with a one-two between Pedro and Arrascaeta, who finished for goal . The Rio de Janeiro team created opportunities to extend their lead, but conceded an equalizer in the 40th minute. After a Grêmio counterattack, the ball hit Ayrton Lucas's arm inside the box, and the referee awarded a penalty. Goalkeeper Thiago Volpi converted, making it 1-1.
With the result, Flamengo reached 47 points and maintained its sole lead in the Brasileirão . Cruzeiro is second with 44, followed by Palmeiras with 42. Grêmio is in 12th place with 25 points. The Mais Querido will now return to action on September 14th, when it travels to Caxias do Sul to face Juventude.
