Flamengo defence hits impressive milestone this season | OneFootball

Does the Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, and Danilo Trio Contribute Only in Defense?

Flamengo is coming off another victory in the Brasileirão in which the defenders were decisive. That’s because the goal scorer in the win over Atlético-MG last Sunday (27) was Léo Ortiz, who found the back of the net for the fourth time this season. Thus, Filipe Luís’ defenders have now accumulated ten goals in 2025.

The defenders’ numbers are:

The trio stands out mainly in aerial duels, although Danilo scored a goal with his right foot against Chelsea (ENG) during the Club World Cup. However, it’s worth noting that the former Juventus (ITA) player is recovering from a right thigh injury.

Solid Defense?

Another achievement for the defense is that Filipe Luís’ Flamengo has reached its eighth consecutive home game without conceding a goal in the Brasileirão. This feat surpasses the record from 1997, when o Mais Querido went seven matches without being breached.

How is Flamengo Doing in the Brasileirão?

With the win over Atlético-MG, Flamengo regained the top spot in the league with 36 points. Cruzeiro, having lost to Ceará 2-1, is now in second place with 34. Meanwhile, the Atlético team, suffering their third consecutive defeat, sits in 13th place with 20 points.

What is Flamengo’s Next Match?

Flamengo is now turning its attention to the next fixture of the 2025 season. On this occasion, o Mais Querido will once again face Atlético-MG, this Thursday (31), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), in the first leg of the Round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil, at Maracanã. As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring you all the details of this interstate classic through the website and social media channels.
