Madureira hold on to slender lead
Midfielder Maicon scored a second-half winner as 10-man Madureira upset Flamengo 1-0 in the first leg of the Guanabara Cup final on Sunday.
Maicon scored the only goal with a powerful left-footer from outside the area in the 72nd minute.
In a heated match Madureira had gone a man down in the 46th minute after striker Marcelo was sent off for simulating a foul. Flamengo had a player ejected in the 73rd after defender Moises got into an altercation with a Madureira striker.
It was Madureira's third consecutive win over Flamengo, which is yet to beat the opponent in more than two years.

The defeat of 1- 0 in the first game of the final da "Taça Guanabara", from Madureira, was the yellow signal for the Flamengo.The players promisethat this Wednesday will have different behavior.Flamengo to be successful must win with the difference of two gols. In case that the victory is for the minimum difference, the decision goes for the pênaltis.
- I have the certainty of that the Flamengo goes to be champion - affirms president Márcio Braga.- I do not see another result then victory of Flamengo - it says.
The technician Ney Franco says that the team is wellprepared to be champion, but asks for a different attitude in field.I want my team to attack the entire time, but with security.Although with optimism, the team has problems. The main one of them is the absence of Obina. Since that the forward suffered knee ligament injury , the team has problems with scoring goals,already they are 178 minutes without scoring a goal.Ney Franco preferred to play safe and goes to repeat the teams of the first game.Ronaldo Angelim will be in the team on the palce of Moisés who was ejected in the first game.
Madureira enters the field with the advantage to play for one ties up to and the conscience of that the defeat in the end of the State one of the year passed to the Botafogo is a lesson that must be learned if the teams to want to be champion.
The technician Alfredo belive that the concentration and the balance will be weapons in favor of its team. - This group has capacity.I feel that we will make a great game - it affirms.he will have two changes in the attack:Marcelo, suspended will be replaced with Fábio Júnior and Valdir Papel-injured will be supstituted with Assunção.Assunção is quicker and has a better finishing, therefore I chose it. The Josimar will be an option for second half - explains Alfredo Sampaio.
