Flamengo beat Remo 1-0 in the Brasileiro Série A, taking the points from a match they controlled throughout. The decisive goal came in the 65th minute, Samuel Lino finishing after good work from Giorgian De Arrascaeta.
Remo spent much of the game defending, and for the opening hour they kept Flamengo at bay. The visitors broke through just after the hour when De Arrascaeta played in Lino, who scored the only goal. The hosts had no response and Flamengo saw the game out.
Flamengo's command showed in the numbers: they held 64% possession, registered 21 shots to Remo's six, and created 2.10 expected goals against 0.43. Remo's goalkeeper made four saves to keep the scoreline tight, but the visitors always looked the likelier winners.
