Part 3/6:
In the second half, the situation did not markedly change. Although Flamengo continued to dominate, they struggled to make the most of their chances. Notable moments included a shot by Bruno Henrique that hit the post and multiple attempts that failed to find the back of the net.
Flamengo finally broke the deadlock with a goal involving key team maneuvers and tactical substitutions. The decision to substitute Varela with Wesley proved to be a change that paid off, allowing Gerson to score. However, it became clear that playing well was insufficient; the team needed a decisive edge in the final third of the pitch, which they severely lacked.
