Mengao finally found a way to win on the road. Palmeiras reject Vagner Love ripped the twines in the 88^th minute to lift Flamengo to an all-important 1-0 win over Palmeiras.

The star of game was Mengao keeper Bruno.

Bruno stopped three point blank shots on goal to preserve the bagel.

We need this sucker.

Rubro-Negro has two wins, one loss, and three ties.

This win many have saved our season.

We will see.

Bruno was on top of his game.

The Mengao defense sucked big time.

Flamengo played the famous Oh lay defense.

This almost cost us big time.

Bruno was the big eraser.

Both sides had their chances but Flamengo and Palmeiras fired blanks.

Globo Esporte reported that both sides made sloppy passes. True to a point but Mengao didn’t play “D.” Apesar da emoção no fim, a partida esteve longe de empolgar. Os dois times erraram muitos passes – nem Petkovic passou incólume -, e o Flamengo acabou vitorioso após suportar bem a pressão palmeirense no primeiro tempo e mostrar poder de reação no segundo.

Na primeira etapa, os dois times entraram com apenas um atacante e muitos jogadores no meio-campo. O número de 47 passes errados das duas equipes expressa bem os primeiros 45 minutos. Os jogadores que mais falharam no fundamento foram Danilo, pelo Palmeiras, com cinco, e, curiosamente, Petkovic, pelo Flamengo, novamente com a camisa 10, com quatro passes errados. Mas o Verdão, mais organizado, foi superior e merecia a vitória, por ter criado mais situações de gol.

You can cut this seventy-five ways to Sunday if Mengao continues to play “D” like this we will be in for a long season.

Love nailed a perfect winner (75^th minute) off a great centering pass but he was ruled off side.

This baby didn’t count.

Upon further review, Love was a hair offside.

Love founded the answer in the 88^th minute. The Love man weaved his way thru the entire Verdao “D”. He fired a deft ball that was squeezed just inside the left post.

Love’s shot had the Verdao keeper Marcos beat dead to rights.

Game, set and match to Flamengo.

This was a homecoming for Vagner Love.

Love played with Palmeiras last year.

Globo Esporte put it this way- Durante a partida, Marcos e Vagner Love mostraram que a velha amizade entre os dois continua, mesmo após a saída do atacante do Palmeiras. Agora no Flamengo, o atacante mostrou-se “amigo da onça” do goleiro. Vaiado pela torcida palmeirense, o camisa 9, em jogada individual, marcou aos 42 minutos do segundo tempo o gol da vitória por 1 a 0 num jogo de 76 passes errados – 45 do Verdão e 31 do Rubro-Negro -,  longe de empolgar os poucos torcedores presentes (8.457 pagantes) ao Pacaembu na fria noite desta quarta-feira. É o primeiro triunfo da equipe carioca após a volta de Zico, que assume como diretor de futebol do clube após a Copa do Mundo.

A win is a win and I will take it.

Rubro-Negro is now in fourth place with nine points.

Palmeiras is in tenth place with eight points.

Ceara is in first palce with 14 points.

Ceara blew out Avai 2-0.

Coritnhians is in second place with 12 points.

Timao plays on Thursday night against Internacional.
