They arrive boosted by two victories: a 2-1 win against Sport in the Brasileiro, and a 1-0 win over Racing in the South American Cup.

It's worth mentioning that Flamengo took a big step towards victory already in the first half by opening 3-0. WHAT A FIRST HALF! The numbers speak for themselves: Flamengo had ten shots compared to only four from Corinthians during the first 45 minutes. Not to mention Pedro's shot that hit the post when the score was still 1-0, which could have made Corinthians' situation even worse. A dominance of 57% ball possession against 43% for the visitors.

For those who don't know, the forward is the third top scorer of the club in the 21st century. Not to mention he is the third top scorer of Fla in the history of the Brazilian Championship.

The former coach of the Brazilian National Team has not yet been announced by the São Paulo club, but the deal was confirmed by several journalists. And of course, people on social media wouldn't let it slide, right? There was no shortage of people joking about Dorival reconsidering his decision to choose Corinthians after the 4-0. Are you going to quit, coach? What's next? With the great victory, Flamengo rises to 14 points, temporarily taking the lead in Serie A. Palmeiras, with 13 points, hosts Bahia at 18:30 and can reclaim the position. Advertisement Mengo will play again in the Brazilian league next Sunday (4), away against Cruzeiro.
