Without losing to Flamengo since 1997 in Caxias do Sul, Juventude maintained the “tradition” and won once again at Alfredo Jaconi. On Wednesday night, Papo even went behind the scoreboard, after a beautiful goal from Pedro, but showed strength, put pressure on Rubro-Negro and went in search of a comeback: 2-1.
With the result, the team led by Roger Machado reaches 16 points and is in tenth place, while Mengão, despite the defeat, remains at the top of the table, with 24.
Balance, good chances and a goal for each side
The first half was marked by balance in Alfredo Jaconi. At five, Juventude got scared with Gabriel Taliari. The attacker turned beautifully in the area and, with his right leg, hit firmly, knocking paint off the post.
Afterwards, Flamengo put the ball on the ground, showed a moment of dominance and was awarded the goal. In the 19th minute, after a good move on the right, Luiz Araújo got up in the area and found Pedro, who, free from marking, pushed his chest into the back of the net.
Rubro-Negro tried to maintain control afterwards, but the Japanese response was immediate. Six minutes later, Nenê took a free kick neatly from the right and saw Lucas Barbosa, behind Pedro’s back, test in the corner, with no chance for Rossi.
Even before the break, Flamengo advanced its lines again and had the chance to turn around the side with the advantage on the scoreboard. At 45, Ayrton Lucas received the ball on the left and crossed to Lorran, who headed firmly and stopped in a great save from Klaus.
JU presses and starts the turn
In the second half, Juventude adopted a more aggressive stance and began a great blitz against Fla. With just four minutes, Lucas Barbosa received it from Taliari on the right, raised his head and passed it to Erick, who deflected the ball into the small area and forced Rossi to make a point-blank save.
The better team in the game, JU kept up the pressure, but saw Flamengo respond in kind. After a ball was lifted into the area, Pedro showed class, chipped the marker and served Luiz Araújo, who shot for a beautiful save by Klaus.
The goalkeeper duel remained interesting at Alfredo Jaconi. At 31, Jean Carlos crossed, Lucas Barbosa straightened his chest and Gilberto hit firmly for Rossi’s beautiful intervention. Minutes later, the Argentine goalkeeper performed a miracle again, this time with a header from Lucas Barbosa.
After putting so much pressure on, Juventude reached the turning goal. And deservedly so. At 42, after another moment of bombardment. Jean Carlos took a corner from the right, the ball was deflected at the first post and passed to Mandaca, who, with the goal empty, only had the job of finishing it inside: 2 to 1.
