Flamengo beat Atlético Mineiro 3–2 at the Maracanã on Monday night in round 32 of the Brasileirão.
Bernard put Atlético ahead early. Gonzalo Plata and Giorgian de Arrascaeta turned the game before halftime, and Renan Lodi equalized for Atlético just before the hour. On the final play, Lodi fouled Léo Pereira in the box, and substitute Jorge Carrascal converted the penalty deep in stoppage time. A Crítica reports Atlético's players protested the decision.
Leonardo Jardim's side have 70 points and lead Palmeiras, on 69, with six rounds left. Atlético are sixth on 50.
