Finally, my team Flamengo played well. Flamengo defeated  Atletico-PR 2-1  yesterday at Maracanã. Flamengo’s Emerson committed a phantom penalty on Atletico’s Rafael Moura who broke free into the box. Moura tripped over his own two feet. It was a bad call. Moura knocked the freebie home to make it 2-1.

The match started out very well for Flamengo when Juan made a pass into the box. Atletico’s Antonio Carlos stepped right in front of the pass and knocked it past his own keeper Vinicius to give Flamengo the early 1-0 lead at the fourteen-minute mark.

Adriano header found the back of the net in the 46^thminute sealed the deal for Flamengo.

www.uol.com.brput it this way: Para quem dizia que Adriano não estava no melhor da sua forma, o Imperador deu uma bela resposta ao marcar o seu e brilhar na vitória do Flamengo por 2 a 1 sobre o Atlético-PR, com direito a festa da torcida, neste domingo, no Maracanã, pela quarta rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. O zagueiro Antônio Carlos, contra, fez o outro gol para o time da casa, que alcançou os sete pontos na tabela. Rafael Moura, de pênalti, diminuiu para os visitantes que seguem com apenas um ponto.

A loose translation goes like this: Adriano responded brilliantly in his first match at Maracana. Moura’s penalty was not a penalty.

Sao Paulo finally played well in their 3-0 destruction of Cruzeiro. You might say a little bit of revenge was in order for Sao Paulo who lost to Cruzeiro 2-1 in the first leg of the Copa on Thursday.

Sao Paulo started out like house a fire. Sao Paulo’s Washington fought off two defenders in the box to head home the first goal of the match in the  12^th minute. This goal was like follow the bouncing ball.

Ze Luis threaded a perfect pass to teammate Borges. Borges was camped right in front of the goal and flicked the winner home in the 32 minute to make 2-0 Sao Paulo.

Dagoberto broke free just right of the box and rifled home the winner in 77^thminute to make it 3-0 Sao Paulo.

Santos dismantled newly promoted Corinthians 3-1. So far this season Corinthians has been outclassed. They have only one win, one tie and two losses. Corinthians is in 14^th place with four points. Two points separate them from getting the heave hoe.

Flamengo is now in 6^th spot with seven points.

Sao Paulo is 8^th with five points.

Internacionalis in first place 12 points. Vitoria is second with nine points. Santos is third with eight points.
