< br>Summary
Great game at Maracanã. Worthy of what is expected from a duel between Flamengo and Palmeiras. The two teams could have gone into the break ahead on the scoreboard, but they didn't count on some factors. In red and black, Weverton's great performance. In the red, the VAR that canceled Flaco López's goal. Flamengo lost Everton Cebolinha, injured, at the beginning of the match.
In the second stage, the red and black managed to maintain their performance and had three great chances to open the scoreboard. One with Pedro, another with Luiz Araúo and the last with Gerson. Both were in the hands of Weverton. On the white side, Maurício was the best on the field. But the dangerous chances came from balls raised in the area. Unlike the last games between the teams, Palmeiras was not trapped in defense and poses a threat to the opponent. However, that didn't stop Flamengo from finally opening the scoring. At 20 minutes, a good move from Flamengo's attack. De La Cruz opens for Gerson, who crosses low until arriving in Arrascaeta. Fabinho misses the cut and the Uruguayan finishes. The ball deflects off Vanderlan and kills Weverton.
The goal gave peace of mind to the Rio team, who nevertheless continued with their game. The match became more physical and combative. Mainly from Alviverde, where players complained all the time. However, Palmeiras equalized in the 42nd minute. Fabinho crosses to Rony, who heads the ball into the goal. Rossi performs a miracle, but the ball is left for Luighi to complete into the net. Viña gave conditions to the move.

The fans of Flamengo are organizing another "AeroFla", a movement in which they accompany and support the team at the airport before important matches. This time, the mobilization takes place amid an atmosphere of urgency, as the club prepares for the decisive clash in Uruguay, after the 1-0 defeat to Peñarol at Maracanã, in the Copa Libertadores 2024.
Under the command of Tite, Flamengo is facing a delicate moment in the season, with the pressure to reverse the result to remain in contention. Even with the stumble at home, the red and black fans maintain their faith and tradition of showing unconditional support for the team, whether in moments of victory or crisis.
FLAMENGO HAS ANOTHER SHOW OF LOVE b>“AeroFla” is more than a simple reception at the airport. This is a manifestation of Flamengo's passion, which transcends results on the field. Fans promise to fill Tom Jobim International Airport, in Rio de Janeiro, to give the players one last incentive before leaving for Uruguay. The expectation is that thousands of red and black people will gather, singing songs and holding flags, in a clear demonstration that, in the Flamengo, the support is present "in love and hate, until the end", as is common to hear among the club's fans .
Flamengo's current scenario in the Libertadores reflects a team that, despite its star-studded squad, still seeks to consolidate a style of play under Tite's command. The defeat to Peñarol, at home, complicated life for Flamengo, who now need to win away to guarantee their classification. The fans, aware of the difficulty, do not let up and reinforce the idea that support off the field is essential for success on it.

The Flamengo, one of the biggest clubs in Brazilian football, is experiencing a moment of turbulence. The recent defeat to Peñarol, in the middle of Maracanã, by 1-0, during the first game of the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores, increased even more pressure on coach Tite, who had already been the target of criticism due to his poor performance. expected from the team throughout the season. With club elections scheduled for the end of the year and Tite's contract approaching the end, the coach's renewal is considered unlikely. In this scenario, Luís Castro emerges as one of the main candidates to take over Flamengo's technical command, according to details released behind the scenes.
The match against Peñarol, held last Thursday (19), was a reflection of the difficulties faced by Flamengo this season. The team performed poorly on the field, with few clear chances to score and unable to impose their game against an opponent who knew how to defend themselves well. The substitutions made by Tite throughout the match did not bring the expected impact, and Flamengo ended up being defeated at home, frustrating their fans.
The fans' dissatisfaction was evident during the game, with boos directed at the team at several moments. This behavior was not well received by everyone in the squad, especially goalkeeper Rossi. In an interview after the game, the athlete vented, stating that, during the match, the support of the fans is essential, and that booing only increases the pressure on the players at a crucial moment.
With the defeat for Peñarol, the pressure on Tite increased significantly. Since his arrival at Flamengo, the coach has been facing difficulties implementing his playing style and obtaining consistent results. The team fluctuated in important competitions and was unable to maintain the level of performance expected by a club of Flamengo's size and tradition.
Goals from set pieces in the Brasileião resulted in four defeats and three draws.

Flamengo has already lost 18 points in the Brazilian Championship due to set pieces. The team suffered from this again in the draw against Palmeiras, at Maracanã, a result that cost them a return to the top of the competition after Botafogo's defeat in the round. Tite preaches "focus and work" to improve the team in this regard.
Goals with set pieces at Brasileirãodefined four defeats and three draws. The team lost 12 points when it was defeated by Botafogo, Juventude (both goals), Fortaleza and São Paulo. In addition to six more when they came out on equal terms with Palmeiras, Bragantino and Athletico-PR.
Fla conceded 27 goals in 2024. Fourteen of them from corners, fouls, penalties or throw-ins. There have been three goals conceded in this way in the last three games. In the Brazilian Championship, this represented a defeat for São Paulo and a draw with Palmeiras. In the Copa do Brasil, against Alviverde, this almost cost them qualification for the quarterfinals.
The biggest problem this year is the corners. There were eight goals against (São Paulo, Fortaleza, Juventude, Grêmio, Palestino, Bragantino and Botafogo). Two came from penalties (Atlético-MG and Athletico-PR), three from free kicks (Criciúma, Juventude and Palmeiras) and one from a throw-in played in the area (Vasco).
The extra points would make a total difference for Flamengo. Only in direct confrontations against Botafogo and Palmeiras were four points wasted. Flamengo once again lost the chance to take the lead in the Brazilian Championship. The team fell to third, with 41 points and one game in hand. Leader Botafogo has 43 and Fortaleza, in second, has 42.
Tite was asked twice about the subject during the press conference. In the first, he stated that it was not an aerial ball, but a rebound. In the second, he was short on how to resolve it.
"The goal comes from a rebound ball, a return ball, not a header from a set piece. We have the same rate of goals conceded as the average championship, because the opponents also have quality. It was a rebound."
