Despite the close result, coach Renato Gaúcho defended Fluminense's performance , noting that his team played well tactically. He said Flamengo had more possession but created few real chances—just like Fluminense.
In the press conference, Renato emphasized that his team was well organized, despite its limitations in attack. The coach also reiterated that the error that led to Pedro's goal was similar to a mistake made in the previous round, against Cruzeiro.
The only goal of the match came from a corner kick. Léo Ortiz deflected the ball at the near post, and Pedro appeared at the far post to tap it into the back of the net. According to Renato Gaúcho, the play exemplifies a collective lack of attention, something that had been repeated before.
Renato talks about the loss to Flamengo: "We also had that lack of focus in the first half of the game against Cruzeiro. And we paid dearly for it."
Despite a strong defensive performance throughout most of the match, the error cost Fluminense valuable points in the Brazilian Championship. Despite the loss, the coach emphasized the match's balance. He stated that he was pleased with the players' commitment and positioning, despite Flamengo being one of the title contenders.
Tricolor adopted a more conservative approach, prioritizing defensive play and attempting to neutralize Flamengo's attack, which features players like Everton Cebolinha, Gerson, and Bruno Henrique. During the derby, Flamengo maintained greater control of possession, which didn't translate into a significant number of chances created. Even so, Flamengo was more efficient and capitalized on their opponent's mistake to secure the three points.

Corinthians made official, this Monday (11), the signing of striker Vitinho. After passing the medical exams, the player signed a contract valid until December 31, 2026. The athlete was free on the market since leaving Al-Ettifaq, from Saudi Arabia , and arrives without transfer costs.
" I'm very happy and very grateful to God and Corinthians for this opportunity . It's an honor to be here wearing the Corinthians jersey. The expectations are immense. I want to be on the field as soon as possible. Be with the Faithful, be with my teammates, and achieve the club's goals," Vitinho told the club's official website.
At 31, Vitinho will be another option for coach Dorival Júnior in attack. In Saudi Arabia, he played 65 matches, scored 12 goals, and provided 10 assists. Discovered by Botafogo in 2011, the striker quickly attracted attention and, in 2013 , transferred to CSKA Moscow, where he remained until 2018.
During this period, he spent two years on loan at Internacional, totaling 84 appearances, 18 goals, and nine assists. At the Russian club, he scored 18 goals and provided nine decisive passes before joining Flamengo in 2018.
After his experience in Russia, Vitinho was signed by Flamengo, where he participated in historic campaigns and won significant titles . Among them, two Copa Libertadores (2019 and 2022) and two Brazilian Championships (2019 and 2020) stand out, as well as trophies from the Copa do Brasil, Supercopa do Brasil, Recopa Sudamericana and Campeonato Carioca.
The red-black board presented a proposal with a salary increase and is awaiting a response from the coach, who remains focused on the competitions.

Flamengo has already begun talks with Filipe Luís and his agent to renew his contract for another season. Despite mutual interest, the final decision rests with the coach , who has chosen to wait before giving a response, prioritizing performance in current competitions.
The club's board presented a proposal that includes a salary increase and an extension of the contract until December 2026, with the possibility of automatic renewal for another year. The coach's contract currently runs until the end of 2025 , and there is internal optimism that a positive outcome will be achieved.
Filipe Luís wants to extend his winning streak at Flamengo , pursuing victories such as the Copa do Brasil, Campeonato Carioca, and Supercopa do Brasil as a coach. However, he admits that playing in European football remains a personal dream, despite his strong ties to the Rio de Janeiro club.
Although they haven't yet secured the symbolic title of the first round, their 2-1 victory over Mirassol last Saturday brought Mengão very close to achieving a significant feat for their fans. If they beat Sport in a postponed match from the 12th round, the team could end the first half of the championship with 43 points, surpassing the 42 they achieved in 2019 under Jorge Jesus.
Next Saturday, Filipe Luís will complete 60 games as manager of the team . His record is 38 wins, 15 draws, and six losses, resulting in a 72.9% success rate—the best since Jorge Jesus, who achieved 81.6% between 2019 and 2020.
