The first half of the match between Flamengo and Goiás was not so creative, especially on the part of the Rio team. The red-blacks even entered with the will to leave with the victory in the opening 45 minutes, but they did not transform their possession of the ball into real chances of goals. On the other hand, the hosts knew how to defend themselves and set up dangerous counterattacks.
The best chance of the match came from Dieguinho’s feet. The midfielder invaded Flamengo’s area, went in alone, had time to look before finishing, but he didn’t catch the ball well. He tried his best to get Santos out of the play, but the kick went off the bottom line and left everyone with the scream of goal stuck in their throats during the initial stage.
The second half started with Flamengo pressing. Dorival Jr’s team chose to keep possession of the ball and play in the attacking field. Goiás also did not change its posture and remained determined to continue with its strategy of defending and escaping at speed through the wings. However, Fla’s rhythm ended up being more intense in the final part of the game.
However, while improving their performance at the beginning of the second half, Flamengo also lost space to Goiás in the attacking field. Esmeraldinho managed to nullify the rival attack and also began to explore even more speed launches. In one of the moves, the ball just didn’t go in, because the red-black defenders were smart.
With the improvement of Goiás in the final part of the game, it didn’t take long for the team to get the three points. Dieguinho made a great move with Pedro Raul and the striker rolled to the midfielder. He arrived hitting and hit the angle of Santos, who could do nothing in the bid to the despair of Dorival Jr on the bench. 1 to 0 and Esmaraldin in front.
But the joy of Goiás was short-lived. In the next move to the goal, Flamengo reached the tie with Matheus França. In a controversial bid, VAR warned the referee and the decision was to validate the bid after a clash between Léo Pereira and Tadeu. Even so, the ball in the net was confirmed and the match ended with 1 to 1 for both sides in the Brasileirão.
