The goodbye of Flamengo’s mixed team in the Rio de Janeiro championship was not the most exciting for the red-blacks. In Bacaxá, he drew (1 to 1) with Boavista in another night of missed goals, even with the debut of Gabriel Barbosa at the event. The result leaves the team with the same number of points as Volta Redonda (13), ahead of goal difference. In the next round, against Bangu, the starting players will be used and coach Rogério Ceni will be on the edge of the field.
On a positive note, another match in which Michael managed to play a good role, with assistance for Vitinho’s goal. A lot of ball possession, 77%, in the initial stage, Hugo Moura’s strong shot in the crossbar, and the surprise. In the first attack, Boavista opened the scoring with a powerful shot by Jean Victor, who finished off with no mark.
Michael scored for the third game in a row. In the match against Botafogo on two occasions he faced the mark, cut and kicked hard, making the opposing goalkeeper work. Shirt 19 repeated the play in the first half, showing that he has been progressing.
At five minutes into the second half Gabigol finished for the first time with danger after Michael’s new move from the left. In the sequence, Hugo again showed his disability with his feet when he went out to play and handed the ball over to Boavista, but namesake Hugo Moura corrected it.
Soon after João Gomes kicked from outside the area and Kléver saved. It has been clear for several rounds that this mixed Flamengo team finishes more from outside the area than the one that won the last Brazilian championship.
On 14 minutes, Pepê, who had another weak performance, was replaced by Rodrigo Muniz. Flamengo started to play in the 4-4-2. At 22, Michael believed until the end and, even fallen, played for the striker who had left the bench, who kicked out.
Flamengo continued to waste their attacking moves and Boavista tried to counterattack, but was unable to threaten. The draw was very nice to the home team.
