WHAT HAPPENED WITH WALLACE YAN?

Starting against Atlético-MG, Wallace Yan was very close to being the hero of the game. At 36 minutes into the second half, Samuel Lino kicked a cross, the ball deflected off the defense, and Wallace Yan was unable to head it into the net. However, the number 64, who almost scored the qualifying goal, ended up missing a decisive penalty.

With Flamengo's 1-0 win, the duel ended in a tie on aggregate. In the penalty shootout, Samuel Lino and Wallace Yan missed their kicks. Thus, the attacker, who was one of the most talked-about players in the duel due to the exchange of provocations with Atlético-MG players, ended the night lamenting the negative result.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

The match takes place at 6:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship.
