The 1-1 draw between Flamengo and Grêmio in the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship left Arrascaeta with mixed feelings. Responsible for the Mais Querido's goal, the number 10 gave an interview after the final whistle and acknowledged his frustration with the result. According to the midfielder, defensive errors needed to be corrected in the final minutes, although he celebrated his contribution to the team.
" Unfortunately, we couldn't come away with the victory. We did everything we could, but we ended up slipping away at the end. These are small details that we need to correct. We need to improve for the next game. I always say that I'm happy to help the group, whether with a goal or an assist. That's how it feels. I'm happy about that," he said.
The Uruguayan scored after a one-two with Pedro at the edge of the box, in one of the match's most captivating plays. It was Arrascaeta 's 17th goal of the year, adding to his 13 assists this season. He's approaching his 2019 performance, when he scored 18 times and provided 19 assists, a national record.
Throughout the 90 minutes, Rubro-Negro controlled possession and created opportunities to secure a comfortable victory. However, they were thwarted by good saves from goalkeeper Tiago Volpi, defensive tackles, and their own errors. The score remained tight until the final moments, when Grêmio equalized with a penalty kick converted by the opposing goalkeeper.
Despite the draw, Flamengo remained atop the Brasileirão, reaching 47 points in 22 rounds. The team could extend its lead to three points if Palmeiras fails to beat Corinthians in the São Paulo derby. Therefore, Filipe Luís's team is looking to use the FIFA deadline to make adjustments and maintain momentum throughout the rest of the season.

The draw between Flamengo and Grêmio at Maracanã, in the 22nd round of the Brasileirão , drew strong criticism from technical director José Boto. In an interview given in the mixed zone, the director pointed out errors by Paulo César Zanovelli's refereeing, which, in his view, would have hampered the Mais Querido's offensive performance.
According to José Boto , the number of fouls called against the team does not reflect their performance on the field. Mengão finished the match with 67% possession and 26 shots on goal, but the referee called 18 fouls against the red-blacks , seven more than Grêmio, who only committed 11.
"I don't think it was the main factor [for the draw], there were many factors. We had a lot of shots, we didn't get them right and the goalkeeper made saves. [Refereeing] It's worrying because it hinders our attacking avalanche. It's not the first time it's happened, it takes away the fluidity of our game and I don't think it's by chance... I don't know, we need to be very attentive to this [about a possible conspiracy]", declared the director.
Boto reinforced his dissatisfaction by highlighting that the high number of fouls committed against a team that maintained greater offensive volume and possession of the ball would be "impossible" to happen naturally.
"The opponents play with the weapons they have [regarding fouls]. The stupidity is the referee's. It's impossible that we have 67% possession, shoot 26 times, and the referee manages to give us more fouls. That's impossible. A team that has more offensive volume doesn't commit more fouls than one that spends the whole time defending," said the Flamengo director.
Finally, the director reiterated that he sees a pattern of decisions that are detrimental to Flamengo: "This is a pattern that has already been verified. It can't happen. The opponents play as best they can and know how. All styles of play are legitimate. What can't happen is refereeing that harms us, disrupts the rhythm of the game . It's not the penalty, it was well-deserved. It's stalling the game, giving cards to our players when they don't even commit fouls. This type of refereeing, which isn't the first time, is something we need to be aware of."
