De Futebol

Flamengo started out their defense of the Campeonato title with a dud. Mengao and Sao Paulo tied at one all.

Tricolor drew first blood in the 45th minute. A great header at the top of the box set this sucker up. Marcelinho Paraiba spilt the Mengao “D”.  This forced Bruno to attack Paraiba. Paraiba feed the ball off to Washington. He slid the ball into the back of the net to give Sao Paulo a 1-0 lead.

Rubro-Negro could have stopped the play but the entire “D” fell asleep.

Flamengo found the equalizer in the 51st minute. Michael slipped a Lolly Pop ball over the top of the Tricolor “D”. Denis Marquez had an easy walk in goal to tie this baby up at one all.

Sao Paulo keeper Rogerio Ceni never had a chance.

Mengao almost lost this sucker in the 90th minute. Tricolor’s Hernanes beat Bruno dead to rights but Flamengo defender David flicked the ball away to keep the tie in tact.

A tie is good but we played like crap.

Flamengo was missing two key players Adriano and Vagner Love.

Headman’s Rogerio Lourenço wanted to save his best players for the next Copa Libertadores match against Universidad de Chile on Wednesday night.

UOL had these words of wisdom- A ausência das principais estrelas em campo é facilmente explicada. Nesta quarta-feira, as duas equipes estarão em campo pelas quartas de final da Libertadores, torneio que é prioridade para os clubes. O Flamengo recebe no Maracanã a Universidad do Chile, às 19h30, enquanto o São Paulo encara o Cruzeiro no Mineirão, às 21h50.

Sao Paulo held key players back as well. Tricolor has a hot date this week in the Copa Libertadores too.

Por isso, a ordem de preservar alguns atletas. Desta forma, o Flamengo não contou, por exemplo, com sua badalada dupla de ataque formada por Vagner Love e Adriano, com a ausência deste último pegando a muitos de surpresa. Já o São Paulo não levou a campo Alex Silva e Dagoberto, entre outros.

Both sides had numerous chances but both came with zippo-nada.

O Flamengo teve chances de chegar à vitória, mas faltou pontaria. Na principal delas, aos 44, Juan cruzou e Everton Silva, livre na segunda trave, cabeceou para fora. O São Paulo também teve mais uma chance inacreditável. Washington ajeitou de cabeça aos 46, Marlos completou e David, o melhor em campo, salvou em cima da linha. A jogada foi comemorada pelos zagueiros rubro-negros como um gol.

Flamenguista nation is not happy but we will take it.
