Flamengo got back to winning ways on Sunday night in Brasileirão, defeating Santos at the Maracanã. Goals from Leo Pereira, Carrascal and Bruno Henrique secured a 3-2 win, keeping the Reds in the lead and keeping them in the relegation zone. However, Bontempo and Lautaro Diaz scored goals in the closing stages for the black and white team, closing the gap to three points.
The red and black team took the lead in the first half with a lucky move by Leo Pereira, who took advantage of a rebound after a corner kick. In the final stages of the match, the team’s tension eased and Carrascal, who missed a penalty kick, received an exquisite pass from Arrascaeta, and Bruno Henrique, who exploited a gap in the defense, allowed the team to expand their play.
Bontempo and Lautaro Díaz scored back-to-back goals, and the black and white team got the better of the game in the end, but the home team “survived” the blow and held on for victory.
With this result, the red and black teams now have 68 points, equaling the score of Albiverde, who will face Mirasol tonight. However, the Sao Paulo team will maintain the lead due to the number of wins (21 to 20).
FIFA matches are about to begin, and Flamengo will visit Sport on Saturday, delaying their entry into the round of 12.
