Match report
Internacional hold Flamengo to draw despite huge possession gap
Internacional and Flamengo shared the points in a 1-1 draw in matchday 21 of the Brasileirão Série A, a result that did little to ease the pressure on Paulo Pezzolano's struggling side. Vitinho put the home team ahead midway through the first half, and Internacional carried that lead into the break.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Flamengo, who dominated the ball for long stretches, eventually found the equaliser through Samuel Lino in the 79th minute, finishing off a move set up by Bruno Henrique. The goal cancelled out Vitinho's earlier strike and ensured the visitors left with a share of the spoils rather than the three points their control of possession might have suggested.
Despite having just 27% of the ball, Internacional matched Flamengo shot for shot on target with five apiece and actually out-shot them 16 to 14 overall, reflecting a game in which the hosts were efficient in the moments they had. Flamengo picked up three yellow cards to Internacional's one, with Jardim's side committing more fouls across the ninety minutes.
Vitinho scored the opening goal in the 27th minute and finished with a match-high rating of 7.9 for Internacional.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Internacional 25%, the draw 23%, Flamengo 52%. It finished Internacional 1–1 Flamengo.
Flamengo's rating gap outweighs Internacional's home ground — Flamengo are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Flamengo's 52%. The draw at 23% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why Flamengo at 52%?
Flamengo sit 266 points higher on our strength rating — 1634 to 1900. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge on the road won 52.0% of 5,996 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 21–20–59.
Why only 52%?
Brasileirão Série A home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (26.9% vs 24.9% norm) and away wins (24.9% vs 30.2%). Brasileirão Série A homes won 48.2% of 4,378 games vs 44.9% across all 98,650 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw only 23%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 21.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.1 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,685. Brasileirão Série A runs draw-heavy, adding 2.0 points.
What did we measure but not count?
Flamengo average 8 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 266 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. Flamengo are missing 1 regular starter — Léo Ortiz — about 16% of their usual starting-XI weight. A body count alone told us nothing. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
