The Gaúchos entered the match defending a 15-game unbeaten streak in the Brasileirão, an absolute record in the club’s history. This run had lifted Colorado out of the relegation battle, secured them a spot in the 2025 Libertadores, and allowed them to dream of a title, even if remotely.
But on the other side was Flamengo, the current Copa do Brasil champion, who had no intention of slacking off until the end of the season. Taking advantage of a poor first half from Roger Machado’s team, the rubro-negros scored three goals in just 12 minutes, practically sealing the victory.
In the second half, Inter came back stronger and played a more respectable game, turning what could have been a heavy defeat into a tighter scoreline. Wesley, at the 10th minute, and Valencia, at the 17th, reduced the deficit and gave hope to the visitors, who started to pressure Flamengo in search of an equalizer. However, the Cariocas showed their strength and managed to hold on to the win, ending any title hopes for their rivals.
The unbeaten run was commendable and brought dignity to Inter in a year filled with failures. The team didn’t even reach the final of the Campeonato Gaúcho, was eliminated in the South American Cup play-offs, and said goodbye to the Copa do Brasil in the third round. The floods that devastated Rio Grande do Sul had a negative impact, but the problems had existed long before.
With the result, Inter remained in 4th place with 65 points, eight points behind leaders Botafogo, with two rounds left, ending any chances of a title. Flamengo, in turn, climbed to 3rd place with 66 points, but also with no chance of becoming Brazilian champions. BBscore football, your reliable destination for match outcomes.
