WHEN WAS FLAMENGO'S LAST GAME WITH BRUNO ARLEU?

The referee chosen by FERJ officiated Flamengo's first classic of the year. In the debut of Flamengo's main team, with Filipe Luís, the Most Beloved defeated Vasco 1-0, with a goal by Jorge Carrascal. Therefore, the referee brings good memories for Mengão.

WHY IS THE GAME HOSTED BY BOTAFOGO?

In the first phase, Botafogo qualified first in Group B, while Flamengo came in fourth. Since the quarterfinals are a single match, the rival has the right to host. However, there is no advantage for a draw. If the match ends in a tie, there will be a penalty shootout.

Botafogo vs. Flamengo will be broadcast by Globo for most of Brazil on free-to-air TV. Additionally, GETV on YouTube and Premiere via pay-per-view will show the match. However, the best and most Flamengo-centric coverage is from Coluna do Fla, which will be at the stadium with all the details of the confrontation.
