Gabigol says goodbye to Flamengo with a goal, emotion and a draw with Vitória in the Brasileirão

Flamengo's last game of the year, valid for the Brazilian Championship, was no longer worth anything for the red and black. However, the fans showed up in droves at the Maracanã, to say goodbye to an idol. That's because Gabigol, after 6 seasons and countless titles, is leaving the club, probably for Cruzeiro. Therefore,

In the first half, Vitória ignored the festive atmosphere of Flamengo and the fans to say goodbye to Gabigol and had a good first half at Maracanã. He took advantage of the chance he had, with Alerrandro, after David Luiz and Rossi failed. And he scored very well. Fla had more of the ball (61%), but rarely came into danger. The best chances were with Wesley on the right, but he finished poorly.

In the second stage, Filipe Luís saw that the team needed changes. At 10', he introduced Michael and De La Cruz, replacing Bruno Henrique and Evertton Araújo, respectively. The game took on a more intense rhythm and a few minutes later, the owner of the party scored. Pulgar gave an almanac pass to Gabigol, who invaded the area at speed and hit the ball to score in his farewell.

De La Cruz made a weak pass to Léo Ortiz, who also didn't arrive strong in the split. Vitória advanced with Janderson, on the left, who cut in and hit a beautiful shot from outside the area, putting the Bahian team ahead again. Pulgar, once again, showed his talents as a Waiter. In the table with Ayrton Lucas, the Chilean returned it to the full-back, who shot a low right. The ball hit the post and went in, tying the match. After the goal, Gabi was replaced, receiving affection from the fans and Filipe Luís.

And now?

With the result, Flamengo ends the Brazilian Championship in third place with 70 points, 7 less than champion Botafogo. Now it's vacation for the players and tomorrow, Monday, the club's fate for the next 3 years will be decided in the presidential elections.
