Leonardo Jardim seeks his first victory as Flamengo's coach against Cruzeiro this Wednesday (11), at Maracanã. Flamengo, in fact, has not yet won as a host in the current edition of the Brasileirão.
Currently, Flamengo has played three matches in the Brazilian Championship. The Most Beloved lost 2-1 to São Paulo in the debut at Morumbi, drew 1-1 with Internacional at Maracanã, and won 2-1 against Vitória at Barradão.
In other words, Flamengo drew the only match they played as a host in the 2026 Brasileirão, against Internacional. On that occasion, the Most Beloved fell behind on the scoreboard and managed to score with Arrascaeta, from a penalty.
Since then, Flamengo has only played in the Campeonato Carioca and the South American Recopa. In the state championship, the Most Beloved won the title after defeating Fluminense on penalties. In the international tournament, the Red-Black lost to Lanús (ARG) 4-2 on aggregate.
In search of their first victory as a host in the Brasileirão, Flamengo faces Cruzeiro this Wednesday (11), at Maracanã, for the fifth round of the Brazilian Championship. The match is scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with broadcast by Rede Globo on open channel, GETV on YouTube, and Premiere on pay-per-view.
