Corinthians vs Flamengo

Corinthians and Flamengo played out a 1-1 draw at the Neo Química Arena on Sunday, with the hosts unable to capitalize on a second-half red card in a tense round-eight clash in the Brasileirão. Lucas Paquetá gave Flamengo an early lead inside three minutes, finishing coolly after a defensive mix-up from goalkeeper Hugo Souza. Corinthians leveled through Yuri Alberto on 19 minutes, converting a Matheus Bidu cross after a sharp ball from Memphis Depay. The game tilted when Flamengo midfielder Evertton Araújo saw red on 51 minutes for a stamp on Breno Bidon's ankle — VAR reviewed the challenge but the card stood. Despite 40 minutes with an extra man, Corinthians couldn't break through. Flamengo sit fourth on 14 points, missing the chance to move second. Corinthians stay 10th on 10 points as pressure grows on the coaching staff.
