The duel was a repeat of the decision held on Sunday, in Belo Horizonte, with victory and title for the red-black team. The result was not good for both teams. Flamengo, which still dreams of the national title, reached 59 points, in fourth place, while Atlético, fighting for a place in the Libertadores, reached 42 points, in tenth place. The game started at a slow pace, with the teams looking ‘hungover’ after Sunday’s decision.
Flamengo entered the field with three defenders (Fabrício Bruno, David Luiz and Alex Sandro), but without Arrascaeta in the setup of the plays. Atlético-MG bet on Hulk and Deyverson in attack. The biggest chance came in the 35th minute with a penalty committed by Lyanco, who tripped and ended up knocking Wesley down. David Luiz took the penalty badly, Everson saved it and Alcaraz, on the rebound, sent it out. And the great performance of the Atletico goalkeeper could still be seen with three more sensational interventions. Twice in finishes by Fabrício Bruno and once by Michael. The final minutes showed a tired Flamengo, while Atlético-MG, under the command of Gustavo Scarpa, almost managed to win, but stopped due to Rossi’s good performance.
