Inter began their journey in the 2025 Brasileirão with a small point away from home. At Maracanã, a 1-1 draw against Flamengo, maintaining their unbeaten run. The team from Rio Grande do Sul opened the scoring with Bruno Henrique, but Léo Pereira returned the favor. It was a fair battle, with chances for everyone. Flamengo went on the attack, but Inter knew how to defend and respond on the counterattack . A fair result for the start of the competition.
The game had a curious detail. In a complicated play in the penalty area, goalkeeper Sergio Rochet scared the Inter fans. After a strong header from Juninho, he made a great save, but was accidentally kicked in the left hand, in a bizarre play. Feeling sharp pains, Rochet played until the end of the first half. The pain worsened, and he left at half-time, replaced by Anthoni. Inter's medical team decided to rest him, awaiting the results of new tests.
POSSIBLE FRACTURE, ACCORDING TO DOCTORS.
According to the channel "Vozes do Gigante", Inter's doctors are investigating two things. It could be a fracture in his fingers and wrist, or perhaps his ligaments are damaged. To find out what really happened, Rochet will undergo several tests when he returns to Porto Alegre. The severity of his condition will determine how long he will be out, leaving the team and fans on alert.
The goalkeeper spoke about the incident. After the game, Sergio Rochet spoke to the press and showed his annoyance. He said he tried to continue, but the pain got in the way. "I twisted my wrist. At the time, I held it. I'm going to get tests. I hope it's nothing serious. Playing like that and having to come off at half-time is really annoying. Maybe it's something with the ligaments. I don't know for sure. Now I need to get tests, wait and keep working," said the Uruguayan.
Internacional, after a draw, will face Atlético-MG at home. Before the game, they are expecting good news about goalkeeper Rochet. Flamengo wants to win its first at Maracanã against Fortaleza. The teams remain optimistic in the Brasileirão. The opening game showed that both can achieve great goals.

Flamengo defeated Argentina's Estudiantes 2-1 at the Maracanã Stadium . The red-and-black team decided the match in the first half with goals from Pedro and Varela. Mengão gave Estudiantes no time to breathe in Rio de Janeiro with a lightning goal.
Just 15 seconds in, Pedro capitalized on a pass from Plata, turned on his marker, and fired a left-footed shot to open the scoring. The quick goal undermined Argentina's strategy and galvanized the Rio de Janeiro team, who continued to press. A few minutes later, Ayrton Lucas crossed from the left and Varela hit a beautiful volley into Muslera's corner, extending the red-and-blacks' lead in the first half.
Even with a two-goal lead, Flamengo maintained control and nearly made it three with Pedro, whose shot was spectacularly saved by the Uruguayan goalkeeper. Estudiantes , for their part, barely threatened Rossi's goal and only managed to partially level the score in the final minutes of the first half . The feeling at Maracanã was that the 2-0 scoreline was a cheap one for the visitors.
In the second half, the pace dropped. Coach Eduardo Domínguez made substitutions, trying to give the Argentine team more momentum, but he ran into the red-and-black defense. The match was not without its tense moments, with cards for Saúl, Samuel Lino, and Alexis Castro, and Plata's sending-off after a second yellow card in a dispute with Facundo Rodríguez . At the end of the second half, Estudiantes scored in the 46th minute to leave the match open in Argentina.
With the 2-1 victory, Flamengo takes the lead in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. The return leg is scheduled for the 25th, at 9:30 pm, at the Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, in Argentina. Before that, the team led by Tite faces Vasco next Sunday (21), for the Brazilian Championship, again at Maracanã.
