Viña comes off the bench, involved in 2 Flamengo goals, fans buzzing | OneFootball

Matías Viña entered in the second half and participated in both Flamengo goals

The Flamengo struggled but came from behind to defeat Red Bull Bragantino 2-1 on Wednesday (23), in a match held in Bragança Paulista. Léo Pereira and Wesley scored the red-black goals, but the standout was the Uruguayan Matías Viña, who came on in the second half and participated in the plays.

Matías Viña was brought on by coach Filipe Luís at seven minutes into the second half, replacing Varela. The Uruguayan — who recently returned from a serious injury — was fouled, leading to the first goal. Arrascaeta crossed into the area, and Léo Pereira deflected it into the net.

And it didn't stop there. The Uruguayan Matías Viña made a good play and found a pass to forward Wallace Yan, who then set up Wesley. The right-back scored a beautiful goal, sealing Flamengo's comeback to 2-1 at 40 minutes into the second half, in Bragança Paulista.

WHAT IS VIÑA'S SITUATION?

Thus, Matías Viña is gradually getting back to the pace of the other Flamengo players. The Uruguayan full-back returned in June after being sidelined for 10 months recovering from a serious injury that occurred in 2024. Finally, it's worth mentioning that the foreigner was a starter in the under-20 team's friendly against Bayer Leverkusen (GER) last Friday (18), and also played for eight minutes in the derby against Fluminense on Sunday (20).

AND FLAMENGO?

With a great performance by Matías Viña, Flamengo defeated Red Bull Bragantino 2-1, with goals from Léo Pereira and Wesley in the second half. The team, led by coach Filipe Luís, reached 33 points and remains close behind Cruzeiro, who drew with Corinthians.
