What started out as real crappy night for Flamengo turned into a huge win over Atletico-MG. Eder Luis fired a strike that found the back of the net three minutes into the match to give Atletico-MG an early 1-0 lead over Flamengo.
I thought, “Oh God here we go again. Let’s stink the joint out.”
Flamengo weathered some early attacks from Atletico before the Flamenguistas found their form and began a massive build up of their own.
Leo Moura got the equalizer in the 36th minute. Moura fired a perfect strike to tie this baby up at one all.
Two minutes later, a Kleberson laser found the back of the net in 38th minute to give Flamengo a 2-1 lead.
Flamengo continued to press the attack. Everton ripped a winner in the 60th minute to make it 3-1 Flamengo. That was all she wrote. Flamengo pulled out a huge 3-1 win over Atletico-MG.
This win for Flamengo in their house at Maracana may have saved Flamengo’s season.
Sao Paulo picked up a 2-1 win over Gremio. This win was a big one for Sao Paulo too. Sao Paulo has been struggling all season. Maybe the clown Gomes has found an answer to Sao Paulo’s problems.
Avai bageled Vitoria 4-0.
