Samuel Lino’s Goal Gives Flamengo a 1-0 Win Over Remo

Flamengo defeated Remo 1-0 at Estadio Evandro Almeida in Belem on Sunday, September 6, with Samuel Lino’s second-half goal securing the victory in Serie A’s 26th round. The result strengthened Flamengo’s position near the top of the table, while Remo remained in 19th place.

Lino decides the contest

The match was goalless until the 65th minute, when Samuel Lino finished a move created by Giorgian de Arrascaeta. Lino was Flamengo’s most influential attacking player by the match ratings, earning an 8.2 after registering two shots on target and four key passes in 84 minutes.

De Arrascaeta also played a significant role in the decisive moment with the assist, although his afternoon ended in the 76th minute when Erick Pulgar replaced him. Lino’s goal was the only one of the match, giving Flamengo a narrow win despite Remo’s efforts to stay within reach.

Flamengo controlled the numbers

The statistics showed a clear territorial and attacking advantage for Flamengo. Leonardo Jardim’s side had 64% possession and completed 599 accurate passes from 664 total, compared with Remo’s 285 accurate passes from 358. Flamengo also produced 21 total shots, including 14 from inside the box, while Remo managed seven shots and four inside the area.

That superiority did not translate into a wide scoreline. Flamengo put five attempts on target and forced four saves from the Remo goalkeeper, while Remo tested Flamengo’s goalkeeper only once. The hosts had eight corners to Flamengo’s nine, but their limited shot volume made it difficult to turn possession of key moments into an equaliser.

Discipline and substitutions

The contest included four yellow cards before a late dismissal. Antonio Galeano was booked for Remo in the 39th minute, followed by De Arrascaeta two minutes later. Jorge Carrascal received Flamengo’s second yellow card in the 48th minute, and Marcelo Rodrigues Souza was cautioned in the 76th. Remo’s Edson Fernando was sent off in the 90th minute, ending the match with the home side down to 10 players.

Both coaches made changes around and after the goal. Remo introduced Jandir Breno Souza Silva for Glaybson Yago Souza Lisboa in the 60th minute, then brought on Vitor Bueno and Alef·Manga. Flamengo responded with Bruno Henrique for Carrascal before the goal and later replaced De Arrascaeta and Pedro with Erick Pulgar and Joaquín Freitas.

Table impact

Flamengo entered the match second with 51 points from 25 games, a record of 15 wins, six draws and four losses. Remo had 23 points from 25 matches, with five wins, eight draws and 12 defeats. The result therefore reinforced the contrast between the teams’ league campaigns: Flamengo added another victory, while Remo’s latest loss extended a difficult run in which their pre-match form already included two consecutive defeats.
