But as Atletico won both titles in 2021, Flamengo were invited to play as the first division runners up. Ignacio Fernandez put Atletico ahead after 42 minutes, but Gabriel Barbosa equalised 11 minutes into the second half when he hammered home from close range after Bruno Henrique’s header was saved. That took the match to penalties. Both sides scored their first five but they struggled to administer the coup de grace in sudden death with Flamengo passing up three chances to win after Atletico missed. The Argentine took over at Atletico in January following the departure of Cuca.
