Match Recap

Samuel Lino bookended the night with a goal in the 13th minute and another in the 86th as Flamengo turned a Rio derby into a statement, beating Botafogo 3-0 in Serie A to stay firmly in the title picture. J. Carrascal added a third in stoppage time, but it was Lino who set the tone and closed it out, leaving Botafogo without a foothold for almost the entire match. Flamengo have now gone unbeaten in all three of their recent Serie A meetings with Botafogo, winning two and drawing one, and this was their most convincing. The visitors, on one win from their last five games and sitting on 30 points, offered almost nothing going forward, a bleak run of form that this performance did nothing to interrupt. Flamengo move to 48 points and three wins in their last five. Pull up the 86th-minute replay and watch Lino make it look very easy.
