In redemption, Pedro secures Flamengo win over Fluminense
At Maracanã, Flamengo defeated Fluminense 1-0 this Sunday (20), wrapping up the 15th round of the Brasileirão 2025. The first half of the classic was weak and lacked excitement. The Rubro-Negro had greater ball possession, but the Tricolor defense was well-positioned, waiting for a counterattack. Fla did not shoot on goal during the initial 45 minutes, and Flu posed a bit more danger, although they didn't have any truly clear chances. The game after the break took a while to "get going," but the Rubro-Negro posed a significant threat with a header from Léo Ortiz (12'), which Fábio saved. After two games "benched" for not training well, according to coach Filipe Luís, who even gave a "bombshell interview" criticizing him, Pedro entered the field in the final stage. At the end of the game, the striker managed to win a corner after leaving Freytes on the ground and forcing Fábio to make a great save. From the corner, after a deflection at the near post, Pedro slid in almost under the crossbar to secure Flamengo's victory.🚦 Current Standings With the victory, Flamengo reached 30 points and prevented the leader Cruzeiro (33 points) from pulling away. Meanwhile, Fluminense, with their second consecutive defeat, remained with 20 points and dropped to eighth place. The Rubro-Negro returns to the field on Wednesday (23), when they visit RB Bragantino in the interior of São Paulo, while the Tricolor das Laranjeiras hosts Palmeiras at Maracanã on the same day.
