“Giorgian de Arrascaeta booked for a foul as the game's physical edge showed before halftime, with tempers already flaring from an earlier Remo argument.”
“Samuel Lino fires home with his right foot to break the deadlock, assisted by Giorgian de Arrascaeta, shortly after Flamengo's double substitution injected fresh energy into the attack.”
Pivotal“Marcelinho picks up a yellow card for a foul as Remo grew increasingly frustrated chasing the game while Flamengo made further substitutions to see out the win.”
Remo
Flamengo
Outstanding performance
Flamengo•MidfielderFlamengo dominated from start to finish, racking up 64% possession and 21 shots to Remo's 7, but had to wait until the 65th minute to make their superiority count through Samuel Lino's clinical finish, assisted by Giorgian de Arrascaeta. Remo, sitting deep and absorbing pressure, managed just one shot on target all match despite four saves from their goalkeeper keeping the scoreline respectable. The introduction of fresh legs off the bench, including Bruno Henrique moments before the goal, tilted the game further in Flamengo's favor as Remo ran out of ideas in the final third. For Flamengo, the win keeps their title credentials intact, while Remo will need to find more attacking threat if they're to climb away from the lower reaches of the table.

Kick-off! The referee is Lucas Casagrande.
Bottom-of-the-table Remo host title-chasing Flamengo at the Mangueirão in a match that means everything for the hosts' survival hopes and comparatively little for the visitors' league campaign. With Remo mired in 19th and battling poor form, they'll need a huge crowd and a big performance to upset the form book against one of Brazil's giants.
