Overview

• Flamengo drew 1–1 with Vasco at the Maracanã in the 24th round, fielding a side with several changes.
• The result keeps Flamengo on 51 points at the top, with Palmeiras on 49 and holding a game in hand.
• Filipe Luís explained that many starters had not fully recovered from Thursday’s Libertadores match, so he began with a “fresh” XI and introduced key players in the second half.
• Carrascal opened the scoring with his first Flamengo goal before Rayan equalized with his first goal in a professional clássico.
• Flamengo now travels for Thursday’s second leg against Estudiantes after a 2–1 first-leg win, which gives the team the advantage of progressing with a draw.
