The fourth round of the Campeonato Carioca began this Saturday (24th) with just one match played. Botafogo hosted Bangu at the Nilton Santos Stadium and won 2-0. Thus, the match was important for the ambitions of Flamengo, since they are also part of Group B.
That’s because, with Botafogo’s 2-0 win, with goals from Alex Telles and Santiago Rodríguez, Flamengo turned on the warning signal. O Mais Querido now has little chance of finishing Group B at the top of the table, as they have only two more matches left to play.
This Sunday (25th), two matches will be played. First, at 6pm (Brasília time), Flamengo hosts Fluminense at Maracanã. Then, at 8:30pm (Brasília time), Boavista and Vasco face off, closing out the day.
On Monday (26th), two more matches will shake up the fourth round of the Campeonato Carioca. That’s because Madureira hosts Portuguesa-RJ at 5pm (Brasília time). Next, Nova Iguaçu and Volta Redonda face off at 8:30pm (Brasília time).
Finally, one match wraps up the round on Tuesday (27th). Maricá and Sampaio Corrêa-RJ face each other at 5pm (Brasília time). Thus, the fourth round of the Campeonato Carioca will end with 100% of the matches played.
Thus, Flamengo faces Fluminense this Sunday (25th) with live broadcast on TV Globo, on free-to-air television. In addition, Premiere, via pay-per-view, will also show the match. Finally, Coluna do Fla brings you all the information straight from Maracanã.
