However, the contribution of these athletes was limited, not enough to change the result of the match.


Nicolas De La Cruz has stood out at the start of the Brazilian Championship. The midfielder was a key player in the victories against Atlético Goianiense, in Goiânia, and against São Paulo, at Maracanã. His absence in the confrontation with Palmeiras was due to the preparation for the Libertadores game against Bolívar.

The presence of Nicolas De La Cruz on the field has a great influence on Flamengo's performance. The player is fundamental in creating plays for the team led by Tite, contributing significantly to the creation of goal opportunities.
