At the Arena, in Porto Alegre, Flamengo beat Grêmio 1-0 this Sunday (10), in the 15th round of the 2026 Brasileirão.
Unbeaten since the start of April, the Rubro-Negro — now on a run of eight wins and two draws — controlled the match from the outset.
So much so that, in the first half, Plata and Carrascal both hit Grêmio’s post.
In addition, goalkeeper Weverton was kept busy by the reigning South American champions’ shots.
For Grêmio, the best chance came after an error while Rossi was playing out from the back, but Léo Pereira cleared it off the line.
After the break, although Weverton made a save from Samuel Lino’s delicate chipped effort, Flamengo opened the scoring through Carrascal, finishing off Emerson Royal’s assist.
With the lead on the scoreboard, the Rubro-Negro eased off the pace but continued to control proceedings and never looked in danger.
So much so that the Flamengo fans in the Arena shouted “olé” with every touch of the ball in the closing minutes.
Meanwhile, Grêmio’s fans loudly booed the team at the final whistle.
