Flamengo was leading the game until halfway through the second half. However, Pedro Raul took advantage of a corner kick and leveled the score. After the match on Sunday (03), coach Filipe Luís revealed that he reviewed the goal by the Ceará team and did not blame a specific player but rather the entire team.
— I reviewed the goal, but I haven't analyzed the play calmly yet. Almost always when a team concedes a goal, there is a mistake. It's not just the opponent's merit. Whether it was Rossi, Léo… it doesn't matter to me. Mistakes happen. As a coach, I would never point fingers to say it was someone's fault. It was the team's fault -, declared Filipe Luís in a press conference this Sunday (03), at Arena Castelão.
The goal by Pedro Raul came after a corner kick taken by Mugni. The midfielder sent the ball into the area, finding Ceará's forward. In the midst of this, goalkeeper Rossi ended up hesitating and had no reaction to the player's header into the goal, leaving the score at 1-1.
With this result, Flamengo managed to regain the lead, but remained tied with Cruzeiro at 37 points. The team's next match in the Brasileirão will be on Saturday (09), against Mirassol, at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
Before that, however, Flamengo faces Atlético-MG, in the return leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. The match takes place at 7 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (06), at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte. Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show all the details of the duel on YouTube.
