Defeat in the derby ends Fluminense's long unbeaten home run | OneFootball

Fluminense lost to Flamengo last Sunday, 2-1, at the Maracanã, in a derby valid for the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship. With the result, the Rio tricolor saw its long unbeaten home run, which had already lasted more than seven months, come to an end.

The team coached by Luis Zubeldía had not known defeat since September 9, 2025, when it was beaten 1-0 by Corinthians in the 23rd round of that year’s Brazilian Championship.

Since then, Fluminense had put together a 22-match unbeaten streak at home. During that span, there were 18 wins and three draws across four competitions: the Copa Sudamericana, the Brazilian Championship (2025 and 2026), the Campeonato Carioca, and the Copa do Brasil.

With the loss to rival Flamengo, however, Fluminense’s unbeaten home record came to an end.

Standings situation

The result meant Fluminense went a third straight game without a win, with two draws and one defeat. In the Brazilian Championship, the Rio tricolor sits in fourth place with 20 points, the same total as second-placed Flamengo.

Now, Zubeldía’s side returns to action this Wednesday, when it faces Independiente Rivadavia-ARG in the second round of the Copa Libertadores. Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time, at the Maracanã.
