This Thursday (19), Flamengo beat Cruzeiro 2-0, at Mineirão, in a match valid for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. With the result, Mais Querido entered the G4 and continues to strive to get a direct place in the 2024 Libertadores.

In Tite's debut, Flamengo went through some difficulties at the beginning, but with a great reading game, the new coach managed to make some adjustments that led Rubro-negro from Rio to improve in the game and score goals with Ayrton Lucas and Pedro.


With this victory, Flamengo rose to third place in the table, accumulating 47 points. Meanwhile, Cruzeiro dropped one position and now occupies 14th place, with 31 points, just one more than Santos, who is the first team within the relegation zone.


Palmeiras was defeated by Atlético-MG at home also this Thursday. The São Paulo team that was ahead of Mais Querido left points behind. Another team that was also defeated was Grêmio, who was surprised by Athletico-PR.

Mengão returns to the field next Sunday (22), to face Vasco, at Maracanã, in the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship. It will be Tite's first game at the stadium with a large audience expected for the duel.
