Rubro-negro showed another attitude on the field against the miners

Flamengo fans saw the team take the field on Thursday night and also saw coach Tite's debut in charge. In this sense, he left, if not happy, at least relieved with what he saw. This is because the team led by the former coach of the Brazilian national team beat Cruzeiro, away from home, at Mineirão with 33 thousand paying fans and definitely entered the fight for the G4 of the national championship. b>
The first half had two distinct halves. In the first 20 minutes, despite Flamengo dominating possession, it was Cruzeiro who had the best chances. The team from Minas Gerais almost opened the scoring with a cross from Marlon, which was deflected by Ian Luccas, and Rossi made a great save. From the 25th minute onwards, Flamengo began to dominate the match more and were in danger with Ayrton Lucas on the left. It was from the full-back's feet that the goal that opened the scoring for Rubro-Negro came. The full-back took advantage of Castán's mistake and scored the first. The fans couldn't even celebrate Ayrton's goal, and Wesley suffered a penalty. Pedro took the shot and increased the lead on the scoreboard. End of the first half: Cruzeiro 0 to 2 Flamengo.
In the second half, the panorama changed a little in relation to the first. This is because from the beginning of the stage, Flamengo had the ball and was sovereign in the match. He played, looked for opportunities, ran, while Cruzeiro defended itself as best it could and didn't have the strength to launch a counterattack against Rossi's goal. This pressure from Flamengo, however, did not turn into a goal and even with Tite's moves, the score remained at 2-0.
AND NOW?
With the victory, Flamengo jumped to 47 points and moved from sixth to third place in the Brazilian Championship, overtaking Palmeiras and Grêmio, who lost in the round.
The Rio team now has the classic against Vasco da Gama at Maracanã. The match takes place next Sunday, at 4pm. It is worth remembering that the rival is fighting against relegation.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Owning the assist for Gerson's goal in the draw with Vasco, last Sunday, Arrascaeta is approaching a historic milestone in the Brazilian Championship. With the assist he provided, the Uruguayan equaled Dudu and is just nine passes behind Marcelinho Carioca, potentially becoming the greatest assist in the history of the competition.
With 68 assists, Arrascaeta is ahead of names like Scarpa , Everton Ribeiro and Zico in statistics. Playing in Brazilian football since 2015, when he arrived at Cruzeiro, the midfielder has already played 218 matches in the Brazilian Championship, 50 of which were assists with the Flamengo shirt. b>
Arrascaeta stands out not only for his assists, but also for his goals. With 55 goals scored, 36 with the Flamengo shirt, the Uruguayan has remained among the best players in the championship since his debut at Cruzeiro.
Champion in 2019 and 2020, the midfielder has been in three of the last five “ideal teams” in the championship. He is currently the third foreigner with the most goals in Brazilian football this century, with 113 goals, behind only Cano and Paolo Guerrero.
