Flamengo Rallies Past Corinthians 2–1 to Extend Brasileirão Lead

Two assists from Carrascal propelled a win that stretched the lead to four points.

Overview

  • Playing at Neo Química Arena, Flamengo overcame a poor first half to turn the match after the break.
  • Corinthians' Yuri Alberto saw a first‑half penalty saved by Rossi, then opened the scoring seconds into the second half.
  • Arrascaeta equalized off a Carrascal setup for his 19th goal of the season, and Luiz Araújo hit the 41st‑minute winner from another Carrascal assist.
  • Head coach Filipe Luís conceded Corinthians were superior early before Flamengo corrected defensive depth and raised intensity.
  • Results elsewhere completed a “perfect round” as Cruzeiro, Palmeiras and Mirassol lost, leaving Flamengo on 54 points with a four‑point cushion and a home date with Cruzeiro next.
