Flamengo recovered from the tough elimination in the semifinal of the Copa do Brasil with a victory over the leader of the Brazilian Championship, Atlético-MG.
This Saturday (30), at Maracanã, the rubro-negra team beat the miners by 1-0, with a goal scored by Michael in the first half of the game.
Flamengo draws with Palmeiras and Red Bull Bragantino in number of points (49), but assumes the vice-leadership at least temporarily — Fortaleza can still overtake everyone this Saturday, as they still play against América-MG.
For now, the three are the closest pursuers, 10 points behind the leader, but Flamengo is the one with more conditions to take that advantage currently due to the number of games.
The Cariocas played 26 times for the Brazilian, two less than Atlético-MG and Palmeiras and three less than Bragantino. The two teams from São Paulo will still enter the field this Sunday (31) and on Monday (1st), in addition to the 29th round.
Flamengo, on the other hand, will now have a decisive week for their pretensions in the competition, as they will discount two of their late games. On Tuesday (2), at 4:00 pm, he will catch Athletico-PR, executioner in the Copa do Brasil, in Curitiba. On Friday (5), it will receive Atlético-GO.
Atlético-MG will also have to make up a game on Wednesday (3), against Grêmio.
