THE GAME
With seven changes and three under-20 athletes, Flamengo didn't have as much chemistry, but they still had more volume in the first half. Everton Cebolinha was the main coordinator of the plays and created two good chances for Wallace Yan, but in the first one the young man stopped at goalkeeper Castella and in the second he shot wide. The team, however, had a little difficulty penetrating the Swiss team's last defensive line and the initial stage ended 0-0.
In the second half, Flamengo opened the scoring after just five minutes, with Lorran, and the game became easier against a fragile Swiss team. In fact, the opponent's fragility became even more evident when Flamengo scored the second, when Koné retreated and delivered the ball to Wallace Yan's feet. Then, coach Leonardo Jardim made a series of substitutions, which were unlimited as it was a friendly match. More experienced players like Jorginho, Bruno Henrique and Pedro got their minutes, as well as other under-20 athletes.
