🎥 Flamengo take the lead over Inter in Libertadores last 16
Thanks to Bruno Henrique's goal, the Rubro-Negro won 1-0 over Internacional on Wednesday night (13) at a Maracanã with 68,493 in attendance.
Including the presence of Carlo Ancelotti, coach of the Brazilian national team.
And it goes with an advantage to the return match in Porto Alegre.
Check out the best moments of the match below (Available only in Brazil).
Rubro-Negro dominance in the 1st half
Flamengo did what was expected of them.
They controlled the actions from the first minutes against an opponent who had as their first mission to close the spaces.
Rochet made a great save on Luiz Araújo's attempt.
But he couldn't avoid Bruno Henrique's goal (28').
A goal that did justice to the superior performance presented by Filipe Luís' team.
Colorado did little when they had possession. Bruno Tabata and Wesley couldn't help Alan Patrick, for example.
Inter improved and attempted
Inter returned more aggressively for the final stage.
It was a necessity after a timid performance when they had possession. And made Rossi work.
Filipe Luís made changes after seeing Flamengo without the same grip.
And Roger renewed his midfield. And guaranteed more strength in the attack.
Flamengo couldn't repeat the level of football presented before the interval.
Inter, on the other hand, had good moments. And more finishes than the hosts.
📅 And now?
The return match will be next Wednesday (20), at the Gigante da Beira-Rio.
Flamengo will have the advantage of a draw to go to the quarterfinals against Estudiantes or Cerro Porteño - the Argentine team won 1-0 in Asunción.
Already Internacional will need to win by two goals to advance in regular time.
Before, Fla and Inter will be rivals in the Brasileirão.
Sunday (17), the duel will be in Porto Alegre for the 20th round of the Brasileirão.
The Rio team leads the competition, with 40 points. Already the gaucho is, with 24, the 11th.

Grêmio ambushed at airport, security guard attacked 📹
The departure of the Grêmio delegation to Belo Horizonte had moments of tension this Saturday (16) in Porto Alegre. A group of 50 fans staged an ambush, invading a private area of Salgado Filho Airport when the bus with the athletes and technical committee arrived. The Tricolor will visit Atlético on Sunday (17), for the 20th round of the Brasileirão. Fernandão, a longtime Grêmio and Brazilian national team security guard, was assaulted while trying to contain the situation. He didn't even board the bus, as he needed medical attention and later filed a police report at the Police Palace. Grêmio arrived on Saturday in 15th place in the Brazilian Championship. They have 20 points from 18 matches. Vasco, who has 16 points from 17 matches, leads the Z-4. See the updated table here. The Tricolor comes from a defeat to Sport at the Arena. They have only one win in the last seven rounds played. And they suffered a drop in the playoffs of the South American Cup. A new stumble could mean the end of coach Mano Menezes' tenure. Grêmio will be without Braithwaite, who is serving a suspension. Kannemann Lucas Uebel/Grêmio This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

📋 Fábio sets new record as Fluminense line up to face Fortaleza
It's Saturday (16th) of Brasileirão for Fluminense and Fortaleza. They face each other starting at 4 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã. A game that will be a record for a historic athlete in football. And it puts two teams in different situations head to Fábio 1️⃣ Fábio Deivson Lopes Maciel will make history by taking the field. It will be his 1,390th career game. He will equal the record of the until now sole record holder: Peter Shilton, with a long career and 125 games for the English national team. No one has played more official matches than the former goalkeeper - now 75 years old. Standings Situations 📊 The Carioca Tricolor bounced back after a series of five consecutive defeats this season. They collected four of the last six points contested in the Brasileirão, advanced in the Copa do Brasil, and were the only team to win away in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana round of 16. The current goal is to maintain the reaction in the Brazilian Championship. With 24 points, they are in ninth place. Meanwhile, Laion is struggling to recover after a series of poor results and a change in management. They have only one win in their last 15 games. And they started the Libertadores round of 16 with a goalless draw against Vélez Sarsfield at Castelão. Fluminense 🇭🇺 After trips to Salvador and Cali, the expectation was for an alternative team. Which was confirmed. Santi Moreno was registered but was left out of the squad. Freytes was already a definite absence, as he is serving a suspension. Davi Schuindt gets another valuable chance among the starting eleven. The lineup includes: Fortaleza 🦁 Renato Paiva is dealing with many absences. Moisés, Brenno, Pochettino, and Matheus Pereira remain in the medical department. Gustavo Mancha is suspended, but Zé Wellison returns as an option. The doubts are the presences of Kuscevic and Prior, who left the game against Vélez with injuries. The lineup has not yet been announced.
