Thanks to Bruno Henrique's goal, the Rubro-Negro won 1-0 over Internacional on Wednesday night (13) at a Maracanã with 68,493 in attendance.

Including the presence of Carlo Ancelotti, coach of the Brazilian national team.

Check out the best moments of the match below (Available only in Brazil).

Rubro-Negro dominance in the 1st half

Flamengo did what was expected of them.

They controlled the actions from the first minutes against an opponent who had as their first mission to close the spaces.

Rochet made a great save on Luiz Araújo's attempt.

But he couldn't avoid Bruno Henrique's goal (28').

A goal that did justice to the superior performance presented by Filipe Luís' team.

Colorado did little when they had possession. Bruno Tabata and Wesley couldn't help Alan Patrick, for example.

Inter improved and attempted

Inter returned more aggressively for the final stage.

It was a necessity after a timid performance when they had possession. And made Rossi work.

Filipe Luís made changes after seeing Flamengo without the same grip.

And Roger renewed his midfield. And guaranteed more strength in the attack.

Flamengo couldn't repeat the level of football presented before the interval.

Inter, on the other hand, had good moments. And more finishes than the hosts.

📅 And now?

The return match will be next Wednesday (20), at the Gigante da Beira-Rio.

Flamengo will have the advantage of a draw to go to the quarterfinals against Estudiantes or Cerro Porteño - the Argentine team won 1-0 in Asunción.

Already Internacional will need to win by two goals to advance in regular time.

Before, Fla and Inter will be rivals in the Brasileirão.

Sunday (17), the duel will be in Porto Alegre for the 20th round of the Brasileirão.

The Rio team leads the competition, with 40 points. Already the gaucho is, with 24, the 11th.
