After a bitter draw against Portuguesa, Flamengo heads into another round of the Campeonato Carioca. Thus, the opponent for the under-20 red-black team is Bangu, this Wednesday (14), a team that has lost to the Most Beloved for the last 23 years.
This is because the last defeat of Mengão to Bangu occurred in 2002. On that occasion, the Most Beloved suffered a 2-1 loss in the 5th round of the state championship at Estádio Moça Bonita, the same location for this Wednesday's game, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).
Since 2002, there have been 20 encounters, with only three draws in the balance. Therefore, as it is unlikely that Bangu and Flamengo will face each other more than once in 2026, a red-black victory increases the opponent's drought to 24 years.
Last year, the Most Beloved thrashed the opponent 5-0. On that occasion, Mengão was mostly composed of the under-20 squad, which will be repeated this year, as the main team has not yet debuted in the season.
The 1st round match of the Carioca will be broadcast on open TV, on Rede Globo, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time). Additionally, Premiere, on pay-per-view, will also broadcast the red-black game.
Therefore, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the game involving Flamengo in the Carioca from the pre-game. Therefore, to not miss any moment of the match against Bangu, just stay tuned to the live stream on YouTube.
