📹 Flamengo fight back to beat Santos, still near Z-4; watch the goals After a hectic final stretch, Flamengo bounced back in the Brasileirão by halting Santos’ rise. Coming from behind, the Rubro-Negro beat Peixe 3-1 this Sunday (5) in the 10th round of the competition. The match was played at the Maracanã in front of 68,615 fans.
Lacking inspiration Flamengo had the expected greater share of possession in the first half. But they lacked inspiration. The best chance fell to Carrascal, who chose to shoot instead of setting up Arrascaeta.
They also lacked the ability to break through the last defensive line of a Santos side that performed well without the ball. Cuca’s team suffered little and tried to attack, but without the necessary quality. They went into halftime “satisfied” with the idea that they had not been overwhelmed.
Clinical Santos, VAR in action, and the comeback A surprise in the lineup, Lautaro Díaz does not have the trust of the Santos fans. But he made all the difference by beating Leo Ortiz in a duel and scoring a fine goal early in the second half (48'). Flamengo’s response came shortly after (55').
