Flamengo beat Atlético-MG 1-0 on Sunday night (27), at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 17th round of the Brazilian Championship. With the positive result, Mais Querido reached 36 points and retook the isolated leadership of the competition , even having one game less in relation to direct competitors.


The only goal of the game was scored by Léo Ortiz, who appeared unmarked in the box and headed in a precise cross from Luiz Araújo. It was Flamengo 's third consecutive victory, now solidifying its position as one of the main forces in the current season's championship.


HULK HIGHLIGHTS DEFENSIVE EFFORT


At the end of the match, striker Hulk , captain of Atlético-MG, assessed the team's performance and expressed frustration with the result . According to him, the Minas Gerais team was well organized in the first half and managed to neutralize the opponent's main offensive moves.

Hulk highlights Atlético-MG's game against Flamengo: "We were doing a great job"


"We came here today with a different game plan. We came here to get a positive result, but unfortunately we couldn't. We conceded a goal from a set piece. Up until then, I think we were doing a great job collectively, neutralizing Flamengo, a team that has a lot of possession and plays between the lines. We tried to neutralize them and close them down well, but we conceded that goal from a set piece. It's time to regret it, go home and get some rest," said the number 7.

FLAMENGO X ATLÉTICO-MG FOR THE BRAZIL CUP

The defeat in the Brasileirão does not end the meetings between the two clubs this season. Atlético-MG and Flamengo will face each other again next Thursday (31), at 9:30 pm, again at Maracanã , for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.

"We need to rest well, not just physically, but mentally as well, to play a great game . They're great opponents, but these are different games. That's not to say today wasn't important; it was undoubtedly very important. But the Copa do Brasil is a decisive match. We'll see what Cuca has planned for this game, but I'm sure we'll be much better prepared to avoid conceding a goal from a set piece, like we did today," Hulk added.

Young striker Wallace Yan, 20, will be officially warned by Flamengo's board after being sent off in the match against Bahia , held last Sunday (5). The player received two yellow cards in a period of just ten minutes , in a move considered immature and avoidable by the coaching staff.


According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the club decided not to remove the player from the main squad, but to impose an internal punishment of an educational nature . The measure aims to educate the player about the responsibility of acting with emotional balance in decisive matches.


CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COACH


The club's board intends to handle the case as part of the striker's professional development process. Coach Filipe Luís and members of the coaching staff will participate in discussions with the player, reinforcing the importance of discipline and posture on the field.

" Filipe Luís will speak with him, as will club officials. The goal is to make him understand the magnitude of the mistake and its consequences," Venê said. The expulsion came at an important time for Wallace Yan, who was trying to regain his place in the first team.


WALLACE YAN CONTINUES WITH THE GROUP

With the suspension confirmed, Wallace Yan will continue training normally with the group, but under the supervision of the coaching staff. To become a regular player again, the Flamengo forward will need to demonstrate commitment and maturity on and off the field.
