1, 2, 3 and...4! Flamengo Beats Corinthians 4-0 with a Good Performance from the Team

Hello friends, how are you?

On an afternoon of a classic between Flamengo and Corinthians at Maracanã, the game, as expected, was very exciting. The red-and-black fans' celebration was beautiful and worthy of applause. Mengão beat Timão 4-0. With three goals in the first half. Dominant throughout the match, Flamengo showed great technique and willpower to prevail in their victory and secure 3 more points for the competition.

Around 67 thousand fans in attendance saw an impeccable performance by the Rio team. Pedro showed that he will give a lot of work to anyone who wants to compete with him for the top scorer throughout the championship. Everton Cebolinha's goal came at a good time to show the fans that they can trust his talent and what can we say about our genius Arrascaeta? Interestingly, the Uruguayan midfielder is the top scorer in the Brasileirão with 5 goals.

Pedro Very Decisive in the Match

Pedro has a great presence in the box and knows how to work from behind, he makes life easier for midfielders. Pedro doesn't just play as a pivot, but he also has a huge repertoire to know how to make decisions in front of goal. Having a striker of his stature on the team is not something that every club can do, and his return, which is also surprising after his serious injury to his left knee and a long recovery period (around 7 months), proves that he arrived with a thirst for victories and goals.

The first goal came when goalkeeper Hugo touched the ball wrong and Pedro quickly read the play and appeared between the Corinthians defenders and shot low towards the goal. Hugo couldn't do anything and just watched the ball go in. The third goal was on its way and a rout was emerging at the Maracanã stadium. Memphis Depay, after Flamengo's third goal, the Dutch player felt an injury and had to leave the field.

Coach Dorival Júnior, recently hired to lead Corinthians, watched the match from the VIP area. Many Flamengo fans had said that he was afraid of facing Flamengo, since the Rio de Janeiro team would be his first challenge, but from what I understand so far, Dorival Júnior has not even been officially announced at Corinthians and he will only sign his contract on Monday. Therefore, the person who led Timão from the sidelines was interim coach Orlando Ribeiro.

Top-Scoring Teams in the Brasileirão So Far

Only Flamengo and Mirassol have scored double digits in goals. The red-and-black leader has 15 goals while the São Paulo team has 11 goals. All of this in just 6 rounds of the Brasileirão. That is undoubtedly a lot of goals compared to the other 18 clubs. Now imagine what the competition games will be like with Pedro on the field? The top scorers in this edition of the Brasileirão will be very exciting.

With this victory, Flamengo is the leader of the competition provisionally, as soon we will have the match between Palmeiras and Bahia. If Verdão beats Rogério Ceni's team, Palmeiras returns to the lead. Flamengo's next match will be against Cruzeiro at Mineirão. It will be the first time that Gabigol will meet his former club again and if we analyze the phase that Cruzeiro and he are in, it may be difficult for him to play, as he has been on the bench for the last few games.
