A corner taken by Tita found Júnior, who was 30 yards (27 m) from goal, his volley was just wide of the Liverpool goal.[11] Soon after, Flamengo were awarded a free-kick when Liverpool midfielder Terry McDermott brought down Tita.[11] As Zico ran in to take the free-kick, a Flamengo player moved out of the wall in front of the Liverpool goal. This left a gap through which Zico's shot went, although Grobbelaar was able to stop the shot, the rebound fell to Adílio, who scored to give Flamengo a 2–0 lead.[12] A third goal followed seven minutes later.
