Sao Paulo, March 23 -- Yuri Alberto cancelled out Lucas Paqueta's early goal as Corinthians drew 1-1 at home to Flamengo in Brazil's Serie A.
Former West Ham United midfielder Paqueta opened the scoring in the third minute when he ran onto Pedro's pass and slotted a first-time shot into the far corner on Sunday.
Alberto equalized shortly after with a close-range finish following Matheus Bidu's cross. The visitors were forced to play most of the second half with 10 men after Evertton Araujo was showna straight red card for a bad challenge on Breno Bidon.
The result leaves Flamengo fourth in the standings with 14 points, four ahead of 11th-placed Corinthians, according to Xinhua.
