The ball was partially cleared and left for Thiago Maia, who hit hard to overcome goalkeeper Dheimison. And it was at the dead ball that Flamengo scored again. In the 18th minute, it was the turn of striker Pedro to take advantage of another corner kick by Cebolinha to score with a header. And Rubro-Negro managed to reverse Maringá’s advantage in the 29th minute, when Gabriel Barbosa took a penalty with great class to score the third for the team from Rio de Janeiro. But, in the 38th minute, the team from Paraná rehearsed a reaction when they scored with an own goal by Fabrício Bruno. However, Flamengo went into the break in a comfortable situation thanks to a beautiful goal by midfielder Gérson in the 48th minute. “Uh, uh, uh, what a beauty!”(MAIA, T.)📸: Paula Reis/CRF pic.twitter.com/NS1bpMEwbj — Flamengo (@Flamengo) April 27, 2023 Rubro-Negro maintained dominance in the final stage .
