Carrascal decisive, Flamengo maintains pace before the World Cup
The Colombian midfielder scores the only goal against Fluminense; Pulgar escapes expulsion but raises concerns ahead of 2026.

Flamengo wins 1-0 against Fluminense in the Brazilian Liga, with a goal from Carrascal that confirms his excellent form. The Colombian midfielder, a key figure for the coffee nation's World Cup squad, is delivering high-level performances. Pulgar, Chilean defender, escapes expulsion in the 30th minute for an unnecessary gesture: a concern before the World Cup for his nation. The Rio side lacks efficiency despite its dominance.
