Paulo Sousa might have raged. One penalty mark separated him from the first trophy. And so four times

Atletico Mineiro took the lead at the end of the first half. After a long shot, the Flamengo goalkeeper beat ahead, but Ignacio Fernandez ran to her and scored without any problems. The team equalized in the 56th minute and the former striker Gabigol scored. A moment later it was 2: 1 for Flamengo, because Bruno Henrique used a good Lazaro pass. With a quarter of an hour before the end, former Porto player and. The Brazilian showed off with a measured head. There is no extra time in the final, so the fans watched the penalty shootout competition.

Crazy series of eleven

Penalty shootout competitions always generate great excitement, but the Sunday competition was exceptional. It is enough to write that it lasted almost half an hour! After five rounds it was a draw 5: 5. And then in four rounds – 7th, 8th, 10th and 11th – one penalty mark separated the Flamengo, which scored the second, from winning the trophy. However, it was always so, that when the eleven was not used by the Atletico player, his “achievement” was copied by a player from the Sousa team. In the end, it was necessary to conduct twelve rounds, and Atletico Mineiro won 8: 7. He used the decisive penalty, and a moment later Vitinho made a mistake, who shot directly at the goalkeeper.

Paulo Sousa was not happy with the first trophy at the new club as the Brazilian Super Cup went to Atletico. Flamengo fans must be disappointed because their club has won two previous editions. Flamengo has to settle for a cash prize, which is two million Reals. One real is worth 78 cents. Five million reais will be transferred to the Atletico account, i.e. nearly four million zlotys.

Flamengo will play another match on Wednesday, when they will face Botafogo in the 8th round of Campeonato Carioca.

The Brazilian league starts on April 1.
