Nothing victorious about this Sunday’s (26) Flamengo vs. São Paulo clash.
Léo Pereira put the Rubro-Negro ahead, but Tricolor fought back to make it 1-1 at the Maracanã thanks to Calleri.
A result valid for the 20th round of the Brasileirão.

And one that was not good for either team.

More football was needed…
The first half was evenly balanced in terms of control of the game.
The best chance for the Rubro-Negro came through Pulgar, who smashed the ball against the crossbar.
BH, Lorran and Lino lacked inspiration. Pedro, meanwhile, was not involved as much as he would have liked.
Tricolor, for their part, succeeded in containing their rival’s momentum.
But they did not pose any real danger. Marcos Antônio even scored, but it was offside.
Excitement until the end
Flamengo looked to respond right after the break.

Bruno Henrique was only denied by a save from Rafael.
Then, shortly after, a corner taken by Lorran ended with Léo Pereira celebrating (57′).
São Paulo’s response also came through the air, with Calleri finishing off a cross from Osório (71′).
Flamengo were the side that pushed harder in the closing stages.
They even scored through Samuel Lino in the 91st minute, but the offside was confirmed.
