Flamengo beats Chapecoense 4-0, narrows gap to league leader

Flamengo returned to the Brazilian Serie A after the World Cup break with a 4‑0 victory over Chapecoense at Arena Condá in Chapecó. Pedro scored twice, Lorran added a third and a Rafael Thyere own‑goal completed the tally. The win lifted Flamengo to 37 points, keeping the club seven points behind leaders Palmeiras (44 points) and maintaining its position as vice‑leader.

Leonardo Jardim praised the team's control and lack of fatigue, noting that the side managed the game efficiently and that Arrascaeta returned after a three‑month injury lay‑off. Pedro's two goals moved him to the top of the league scorers' chart with 12 goals in 18 matches, reinforcing his role as Flamengo's primary attacking threat ahead of the upcoming clash with São Paulo at the Maracanã.
