Flamengo was defeated by São Paulo 2-1 this Wednesday (28) and missed the chance to start with a positive result in the Brasileirão, in a round that featured eight matches. This Thursday (28), four teams will close the first round of the national points-based tournament.
The first match this Thursday (29) takes place at 8 PM (Brasília time). At Estádio Maião, in the interior of São Paulo, Mirassol and Vasco will face off.
Right after, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), Botafogo and Cruzeiro will meet in a match at Estádio Nilton Santos, in Rio de Janeiro. This match concludes the initial round of the Brasileirão.
The debut of Flamengo did not go as the fans wanted. This is because, at Morumbi, the Rubro-Negro even started by winning against São Paulo this Wednesday (28). However, Filipe Luís's team ended up suffering a comeback and 'inaugurating' the tournament with a defeat.
Now Flamengo puts the Brasileirão on the back burner and focuses on the Supercup competition. Competing for the first title of the season, the Carioca team will face Corinthians next Sunday (01), at Estádio Nacional Mané Garrincha. The match is scheduled to take place at 4 PM (Brasília time), with broadcast by Rede Globo on open TV, SporTV on cable, and Premiere via pay-per-view.
