Overview

  • Flamengo beat Grêmio 3–1 at the Maracanã on Wednesday to open a six-point gap over Palmeiras in the Campeonato Brasileiro.
  • Samuel Lino opened the scoring and Pedro scored twice, bringing his league total to 20 goals and restoring Flamengo’s attacking form.
  • Jardim removed Carrascal, Ayrton Lucas and Arrascaeta because each showed signs of muscle overload and the coach warned that playing injured could mean a month out.
  • The coach said he will not rest key players despite eight squad members being one yellow card from suspension and cited the need to remain competitive every match.
  • Flamengo enters a two-week FIFA international break and will return to the Maracanã to face Athletico-PR on November 18, using the pause to recover players ahead of the season’s final rounds.
