Highly pressured by the defeat in the opening day of the Brasileirão (1-2 at São Paulo) and the loss of the Super Cup to Corinthians (0-2), Flamengo did not go beyond the 1-1 draw against Internacional on Wednesday night and continues to fail to win this season, after, at Carioca, having recorded just one triumph. At Maracanã, the Porto Alegre team took the lead through Argentine Rafael Borré, who 'broke' Léo Pereira's kidneys and, at half-time, shot to count. Flamengo's reaction arrived in the second half, but the best thing that the reigning Brasileirão champion managed, in a game marked by the debut of the most expensive reinforcement in the club's history, Lucas Paquetá, was to reach equality: in the 68th minute, Giorgian de Arrascaeta successfully converted a penalty and gave Filipe Luís' team their first point in the competition.
