📹 In a redemption moment, Pedro secures Flamengo win over Fluminense | OneFootball

At Maracanã, Flamengo beat Fluminense 1 x 0, this Sunday (20), concluding the 15th round of Brasileirão 2025.

The first half of the classic was weak and with few emotions. The Rubro-Negro had more ball possession, but the tricolor defense was well positioned waiting for a counterattack.

Fla didn't shoot at goal during the initial 45 minutes, and Flu was a little more dangerous, even though they didn't have any really clear chance.

The game after the break still took a while to "get going", but the Rubro-Negro was very dangerous in Léo Ortiz's header (12'), which Fábio saved.

After two games "in punishment" for not training well, according to coach Filipe Luís, who even gave a "bombastic interview" criticizing him, Pedro entered the field in the final stage.

At the end of the game, the center forward won a corner after leaving Freytes on the ground and forcing Fábio to make a great save.

On the corner, after a deflection at the first post, Pedro threw himself into the slide almost under the crossbar to secure Flamengo's victory.

🚦 Standings

With the victory, Flamengo reached 30 points and did not let the leader Cruzeiro (33 points) pull away.

Fluminense, on the other hand, with its second consecutive defeat, remained with 20 points and fell to the eighth position.

The Rubro-Negro returns to the field on Wednesday (23), when it visits RB Bragantino, in the interior of São Paulo, while the Tricolor das Laranjeiras hosts Palmeiras, at Maracanã, on the same day.
