While waiting for King’s official arrival, Mengao traveled to Timao on Sunday and lost 1-0, due to an own goal, in Brasileirao.
Pending the formalization of the signature of Arturo Vidal , Flamengo has, in parallel, multiple competitions in front of him. And in the Brasileirao, the first division championship, he failed to take off. This Sunday, they had the great classic of local football, visiting Corinthians, in Sao Paulo. Timao won the duel 1-0, favored by an own goal.
The Mengao has a powerful team, full of proper names. However, on this occasion, coach Dorival Júnior did not field his full contingent of stars. The substitutes were Filipe Luís, David Luiz, Diego Ribas and Everton Ribeiro. Neither the Uruguayan Giorgian De Arrascaeta nor William Arao. The latter is about to be transferred to Fenerbahçe in Turkey, managed by Jorge Jesús, former coach of Fla.
After the two clubs sealed their pass to the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals, Corinthians and Flamengo contested the classic, which was luckily defined for the Paulistas. In the 52nd minute, an awkward own goal from Rodinei gave Timao the win . The Cariocas tried to tie but goalkeeper Cássio was turned into a figure.
Although Rubro-Negro is in three competitions, in the local tournament it is relegated. March in eighth place, with 21 points, out of qualifying for next year’s Copa Libertadores. On the other hand, Corinthians reached 29 units and followed Palmeiras, the leader of the competition.
The popular Flamengo’s next challenge will be the Brazilian Cup. Next Wednesday, he fights a revenge duel against Atlético Mineiro, led by Eduardo Vargas, and enters the field with a 2-1 disadvantage in the first leg.
