On Wednesday night (06), Flamengo beat Atlético-MG 1-0 at Arena MRV , but ended up being eliminated from the Copa do Brasil in the penalty shootout. The result reversed the disadvantage of the first game , in which the Minas Gerais team had won by the same score. In the penalties, the visitors got the better of it and secured a place in the semifinals of the tournament.


After the match, goalkeeper Rossi spoke to the press and assessed the Rio team's performance: "The truth is that we came here looking for a result. I think we played a good game, we managed to win the game, maybe we lacked a little bit at the end, a little bit of luck too to be able to make it 2-0. Then, the penalties are also luck and hard work," began the goalkeeper.


Rossi reveals his feelings after Flamengo's defeat: "The penalty has to have a winner"


"Wallace played a great game and saw the chance to take the penalty, he missed, but this continues. Now we're going to rest, it's good that on Saturday we have another final ahead of us. Every game we play for Flamengo is a final , so I think this continues here, obviously, nobody likes to be out, especially being the last champion, but I think we played a good game here too. And that's it, we lost the penalty, we won the game. The penalty has to have a winner, but we, unfortunately, missed," concluded the goalkeeper.

WALLACE MISSES DECISIVE KICK


Flamengo applied pressure, created good chances, and controlled the match for much of the 90 minutes, capping off a second-half goal from Pedro. However, on penalty kicks, Wallace Yan missed his shot, and Atlético-MG converted all of their attempts, advancing in the tournament.

NEXT APPOINTMENT

Next Saturday (09), Flamengo turns its attention to the Brasileirão . At 6:30 pm (Brasília time), Rubro-Negro faces Mirassol, at Maracanã at 6:30 pm. It is worth remembering that Mais Querido is the leader of the national tournament with 37 points.

Flamengo and Mirassol face each other this Saturday (09), at 6:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brasileirão. Rubro-Negro arrives at the clash after being eliminated in the Copa do Brasil, with the mission of winning to maintain the leadership of the competition. On the other side, they will have an opponent motivated by a campaign above all expectations .


LEADER AGAINST SURPRISE


Flamengo has 37 points, the same number as Cruzeiro, but leads on goal difference (24 to 19) and still has a game in hand over the Minas Gerais team. A victory at Maracanã will guarantee the Rio de Janeiro club the top of the table at the end of the first round .


Mirassol, meanwhile, is the big revelation in this Série A. In its debut season, the São Paulo team sits fifth with 28 points— the result of seven wins, seven draws, and only two losses in 16 matches . Interestingly, it's the team with the fewest losses in the championship, along with Flamengo . With a victory, the newcomer could enter the top four of the competition.

MIRASSOL MOMENT


If Flamengo wins this Saturday, it will end Mirassol's three-month unbeaten streak. The São Paulo team's last loss was to Red Bull Bragantino on May 5th . Since then, Rafael Guanaes's team has won six and drawn three, with an impressive 77% success rate.

Initial projections pointed to a relegation battle, due to an experienced squad, an average age over 29, and several well-known names, such as midfielder Gabriel, formerly of Flamengo . However, the team's performance in the first round exceeded expectations: third-best attack (27 goals) and sixth-best defense (16 conceded), in addition to good results against more popular opponents.

KNOWN ROUTE

Despite this, the strategy against Flamengo should follow the usual visiting team strategy at Maracanã: a defensive posture, deep lines, and a reliance on counterattacks . Flamengo, in turn, should control possession and look for spaces to create the chances that will secure the victory.
