Filipe Luís admits defeat, urges Flamengo to step up | OneFootball

Flamengo lost to Lanús (ARG) at the Estadio Ciudad de Lanús, 1-0

The first match of the South American Recopa saw Lanús defeat Flamengo on Thursday (19). Thus, coach Filipe Luís emphasized the urgency for the Rubro-Negro to improve in the 2026 season. — They were superior, competed better, it was clear how they wanted to play, they knew how to play very well as they wanted, which was to disrupt with the ball. When it came to playing, they managed to defend well, we almost never managed to circulate the ball, we lacked depth. A fair victory, now we have to turn this around at our home -, highlighted the coach in a press conference.

How did Lanús win?

Rodrigo Castillo scored the winning goal for Lanús after heading between the Rubro-Negro defenders. The Most Beloved, however, only shot once on target, had greater ball possession, but created few chances.

Is Flamengo's season bad so far?

Castillo's goal is the 17th that Fla has conceded in 11 games in the current campaign. Furthermore, there are only four wins and six losses so far. Therefore, the coach sees the need to overturn the Recopa at home.

When is the return match between Flamengo and Lanús?

Trailing in the aggregate score, the Rubro-Negro will play the return leg of the Recopa next Thursday (26) at the Maracanã. The match will take place starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with broadcast on ESPN, on cable, and Disney+ on streaming.
