“Samuel Lino opened the scoring with a right-footed strike from outside the box into the left corner, assisted by Pedro. The goal came against the run of play — Coritiba had spurned three headed chances in the minutes prior — and immediately swung momentum firmly in Flamengo's favour.”
Pivotal“Pedro converted from close range to double Flamengo's lead, capitalising on the assist from Samuel Lino — the roles now reversed from the first goal. The strike came immediately after Rossi's save, ensuring Coritiba's brief spell of pressure yielded nothing.”
Pivotal“Samuel Lino completed his brace with a composed finish from the left side of the box into the right corner, assisted by Ayrton Lucas, putting the seal on a comprehensive Flamengo victory and ending any lingering doubt about the result.”

Outstanding performance
Flamengo•MidfielderFlamengo were dominant from the opening whistle and rarely looked troubled in a controlled 3-0 victory over a Coritiba side that showed early intent but ultimately crumbled. Samuel Lino struck from outside the box as early as the 11th minute to settle any nerves, and the match's complexion shifted irrevocably in the 36th minute when Pedro Rocha was dismissed for a foul, leaving Coritiba with a mountain to climb. Flamengo's 62% possession and 21 shots told the story of a side that dictated terms throughout, with their 92% pass accuracy underlining the technical gulf between the two teams. Pedro added a second from close range in the 60th minute after Agustín Rossi's sharp save had kept the score respectable moments earlier, before Lino completed his brace ten minutes later to confirm a result that extends Flamengo's credentials in the title race, while Coritiba remain mired in the lower half of the table and in desperate need of answers.
