EVERYTHING ABOUT THE GAME BETWEEN FLA >Flamengo started the match trying to put pressure on Grêmio's ball. With just two minutes, Arrascaeta took a free kick in the area and Erick went up to head it, but the ball went out. Tricolor from Rio Grande do Sul was also looking for an attack and arrived with danger.
At 16', Wesley invaded the area and rolled the ball to Gabi, who shot over Bruno Uvini. As time passed, the red and black team managed to maintain control of ball possession in the offensive field.
Until at 23', control of ball possession resulted in a goal! Wesley stole the ball, invaded the area and played for Cebolinha to dribble past Kannemann and hit the ball into the net. The law of the ex never fails! It was the attacker's sixth goal with the Sacred Mantle.
Mengão continued to attack in search of extending the score. At 32', Arrascaeta made a beautiful pass to Wesley, who went to the baseline and crossed for Gabi. The number 10 finished over the goalkeeper. Without any major scares, Rubro-Negro finished the first half with an advantage.
When returning to the second half, Mais Querido continued to impose its pace and control possession of the ball. Grêmio was more attacking in search of a draw. At 14', a great opportunity was created by Mengão. Arrascaeta made a beautiful pass to Pedro, the attacker hit the goalkeeper's corner low and the ball went close to the post.
At 19', Rubro-Negro extended the score at Maraca for the celebration of the Nation! Grêmio's midfielder missed a pass and the ball fell to Pedro, who entered the second half, to shoot low into the corner: 2-0.
Without letting the intensity diminish, Fla continued wanting more. At 27', Bruno Henrique, who had just replaced Cebolinha, took a risk from outside the area and the ball went over the goal. In stoppage time, Mais Querido narrowly missed scoring the third. Gerson found Bruno Henrique alone entering from the diagonal on the right side. The number 27 tried the shot, but the ball went out.
But at 50', there was no way, Bruno Henrique's ball finally went in! Victor Hugo finds Gerson on the left, he crossed just enough for the attacker to score with a header and declare the great red-and-black victory at Maraca. It is worth noting that number 27 scores a goal again after 428 days.

Estudiantes is already in Rio de Janeiro for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against Flamengo , scheduled for Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The Argentine team trained at Fluminense's facilities , preparing for the decisive duel.
Coach Eduardo Domínguez tested a more conservative formation, including an extra defensive midfielder in midfield, as a strategy to contain Flamengo's attacks. According to Radio Província 1270 in La Plata, the change could result in only one striker on the field , demonstrating a more solid defensive posture.
Estudiantes ' likely lineup for the clash includes: Muslera; Gómez, Nuñez, Rodríguez, Arzamendia; Ascacibar, Piovi, Amondarain, Medina, Tiago Palacios; Carrillo.
It's not yet clear whether Piovi will play as an extra midfielder or be replaced by Castro . Amondarain, despite being an attacking midfielder, could drop back and act as a third midfielder, depending on Domínguez's strategy in recent training sessions.
With the prospect of a more closed Argentine team, Flamengo, under the command of Filipe Luís, will have to work hard to break down Estudiantes' defense and seek a positive result in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals.
