Chororô explained: Flamengo extend dominance over Botafogo at Nilton Santos | OneFootball

Flamengo won 3-0 over Botafogo this Wednesday (15) to silence the provocations from Botafogo fans

The house belongs to Botafogo, but the one who dominates is Flamengo. That’s because the classic has been played 26 times at Estádio Nilton Santos, and the number of victories is higher for the visitors. So, the latest red-and-black triumph happened this Wednesday (15).

This victory in the 28th round of the 2025 Brasileirão was Flamengo’s 13th over Botafogo at Nilton Santos. The ‘owners’ of the house, however, have only won four matches at Engenhão. The number of draws is nine.

Did Botafogo provoke?

Before the match started, a mosaic from Botafogo’s fans referenced the 4-1 score over Flamengo in 2024. The disrespect, however, did not go unpunished. Filipe Luís’ men responded on the field and won 3-0.

The Flamengo fans, however, responded in kind. The members of the Red-and-Black Nation who were at Engenhão sang at the top of their lungs: “And no one silences, this whining. The president cries. The whole team cries. The fans cry.”

What is Flamengo’s next match?

After thrashing Botafogo, Flamengo returns to Maracanã to host Palmeiras. Thus, the visitors have 61 points, three more than the home team, which means a direct fight for the Brasileirão title.

The match, valid for the 29th round of the Brasileirão, takes place this Sunday (19) starting at 4pm (Brasília time). O Mais Querido will be on the field, so there will be full coverage from Coluna do Fla.
