In one of the toughest games of the season, Agustín Rossi was once again decisive for Flamengo. The 2-0 victory over Palmeiras, this Sunday (25), had as its highlight the goalkeeper's save on a penalty kick by Piquerez, who also had a quick reaction on the rebound to prevent Estêvão's goal. More than just another great performance, the play served to consolidate a cut that shows how valuable Rossi has become between the posts: he has made four direct saves in the last six penalties he has faced wearing the red-and-black jersey.
His recent performance has been impressive. Since joining Flamengo , Rossi has faced ten penalty kicks and saved four. A 40% success rate, well above the average for his position in Brazilian football. With this result, the Argentine stands out as one of the main specialists in Serie A in this regard and gains even more respect with the coaching staff.
In addition to the match against Palmeiras, Rossi had already stopped penalty kicks in other important matches. In the 30th round of the 2024 Brazilian Championship, he saved a Fluminense shot at Maracanã. In a classic against Botafogo, he came out on top against Thiago Almada. And against Cruzeiro, he blocked a shot by Gabriel Barbosa. All decisions were made at delicate moments, when Flamengo could have had a hard time.
At 29 years of age, the Argentine has saved a total of 23 penalties as a professional. This number places him among the five Argentine goalkeepers with the most saves since 1990. In the ranking, he is behind only Sergio Romero (29), Franco Armani (27) and Roberto Abbondanzieri (26). Rossi surpasses names like Emiliano Martínez, “Dibu”, with 18 saves in the same field.
The goalkeeper's consistency in decisive moments goes beyond the numbers. Within the locker room, the Argentine is increasingly seen as a silent leader, one of those who doesn't talk much but responds with performance. Since arriving at Flamengo, he has shown quick adaptation, refined game reading and confidence in the fundamentals. His current good form is a reflection of his consistency and focus.

Flamengo received important news this Monday (4). Midfielder Arrascaeta underwent tests at the club's training center, Ninho do Urubu, which ruled out any muscle injury in the thigh. Thus, the number 10 is fit to reinforce the team in the return match against Atlético-MG , in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.
The Uruguayan was substituted at halftime of the match against Ceará last weekend after complaining of muscle discomfort. The decision to withdraw him was made by coach Filipe Luís as a preventative measure , avoiding the worsening of a possible clinical condition.
The player's departure at half-time caused apprehension among fans, who feared the absence of the team's main playmaker in a decisive match. However, tests carried out on Monday ruled out any medical concerns , and Arrascaeta is available to the coaching staff for the match against Atlético-MG, on Wednesday (6).
Internally, the news was received enthusiastically, particularly given the tactical importance the midfielder represents to the team's attacking system . If he's fully fit by game day, Arrascaeta is likely to start.
After a 1-0 defeat in the first leg at Maracanã, Flamengo needs to win by two goals to secure a direct spot in the quarterfinals. If Flamengo wins by one goal, the match will go to penalties . A draw or another defeat in Belo Horizonte will result in Flamengo 's elimination from the competition.
