Tuesday night was a party and a great victory at Maracanã. This is because Flamengo entered the field for the duel against Boavista and achieved a 4-0 result, with good football presented by Tite's team. Luís Araújo, Pedro and Arrascaeta twice (once, a great goal), scored the goals for the Gávea team.

SUMMARY

Flamengo started the game attacking from the left side and Ayrton Lucas shot with his right foot. However, the ball went close to the goal. This devastating start gave encouragement to the team, which was unaware of the opponent. In this sense, after eight minutes, the red and black team opened the scoring. Pedro kicked, the ball fell to Luiz Araújo on the right side and the attacker took a chance from outside the area in the corner, after a pass from Igor Jesus.

A few minutes after the first goal, the second came. 12 minutes into the first half, Luiz Araújo took a very strong corner, Everton Cebolinha caught the ball on the left side, made an individual play and crossed for the number 9 to score with a header.

Flamengo remained dominant in the match, creating chances, but the first half ended 2-0.

The second stage began, just as the first ended. Just seven minutes into the second half, a controversial move stole the show in the Campeonato Carioca. In the move, Everton Cebolinha cleared the play and was brought down in the area by Gabriel Almeida. Despite the referee awarding a corner, the players asked for a penalty. After more than two minutes, the VAR reviewed the play and confirmed the penalty for Flamengo, but Pedro wasted the charge.

It didn't take long for Flamengo to extend the score even further. After exchanging passes, Rubro-Negro scored again in the 25th minute of the second half. In the move, Arrascaeta had the ball inside the area, dribbled past the defense, hit a cross into the box and scored a great goal in Carioca's ninth round.

In short, Flamengo was not satisfied with the score . Therefore, Arrascaeta found the net for the second time in the 38th minute of the second half. During the play, De la Cruz found his compatriot inside the area. The number 14 opened and shot into the corner of goalkeeper André Luiz. Therefore, the match ended 4-0 and Fla's show.

In a press conference at Ninho do Urubu, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi spoke about his desire to be called up to the Argentina national team , the current world champion. Despite his dream, the goalkeeper made it clear that his priority remains Flamengo.

Rossi on his dream of joining the Argentine national team: "My job is for Flamengo"

"Obviously, I've always wanted to be called up. I think Brazilian football is very strong, not only in South America, but worldwide as well. In the last call-up, there were players from here. But I'm not thinking about that right now . I think that if I do my job well, that call-up could come," Rossi stated.

TOTAL FOCUS ON FLAMENGO

The Argentine stressed that he keeps his feet on the ground and that his main goal is to continue showing consistency for the Rubro-Negro , who have the best defense in the Brasileirão, conceding only 10 goals in 22 games. At Maracanã, the Mais Querido conceded only three goals.

"I'm in no rush, because my job is for Flamengo , day to day, game to game. My biggest focus is to maintain this streak so that the call-up can come. Of course I have that desire, but I don't treat it as a requirement . I'm Flamengo's goalkeeper, I'm responsible for Flamengo. If the call-up comes, I'll welcome it," he added.

INCOME AND TITLES WITH THE MANTLE

Since joining Flamengo in 2023, Rossi has already won four titles. Last season, he was a key player in the undefeated Carioca Championship and also played in the Copa do Brasil victory. In 2025, he maintained his starting spot in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Estadual . In total, he has represented Flamengo in 125 official matches, establishing himself as a pillar of the team.
