0Sunday was magical for Flamengo fans across Brazil. This is because the club won its fifth Brazilian Cup in history, beating Atlético-MG again, this time by 1-0 (Plata's goal) in Belo Horizonte. Adding to this, the team led by coach Filipe Luís was the first champion of Arena MRV.
Summary
Very busy first half at Arena MRV, despite the zero on the scoreboard. Gabriel Milito's Atlético had more of the ball and dominated much of the game, but Flamengo got scared with several attacks and tried to balance the match. The best chance, in fact, was from Fla: a header from Arrascaeta that knocked paint off Everson's post. The team led by Filipe Luís held on well and so far knew how to manage the 3-1 advantage built in Rio de Janeiro. Galo almost scored with shots from Hulk (a hit from outside the area) and Paulinho (in a mistake with the red-black ball). The first stage also saw complaints from the Flamengo fans due to a foul by Lyanco on Arrascaeta - for them, the defender should receive a red card instead of a yellow one.
The second half was in the same panorama as the first until 10 min. Then, leaving many defensive spaces, Flamengo piled up chances to open the score, mainly with Michael. This happened because, with the need to score at least two goals, Atlético went forward, leaving Fla with the counterattacks. Time passed and Filipe Luís' team continued to have the best chances, even with the score in their favor. After so many chances, finally the goal: At 39', Gonzalo Plata takes advantage of a counterattack, gets in the face of the goalkeeper and, through cover, scores the goal that declared the Copa do Brasil title for Fla and the first title in the history of Arena MRV .
And now?
With the title, Flamengo ends the Copa do Brasil, increases the club's revenue from the prize pool and guarantees place in the next Libertadores in 2025. However, the Brazilian Championship still remains. The red-black team is in fourth place, with 58 points and very little chance of winning the title.
Fla's next opponent will again be Atlético-mg. This time the match will be at Maracanã, for the national championship. The duel takes place next Wednesday, at 8pm.
