Flamengo clinch fourth Copa Libertadores title, no one leaves empty-handed | OneFootball

Flamengo is the Brazilian with the most titles in the Copa Libertadores

THE BRAZILIAN WITH THE MOST TITLES IN THE LIBERTADORES IS THE CLUBE DE REGATAS DO FLAMENGO! IT'S FOUR TIMES! This Saturday (29), the Most Beloved defeated Palmeiras 1-0 in Lima, Peru, with a goal by Danilo. Now, Flamengo holds the trophies from 1981, 2019, 2022, and 2025.

HOW WAS THE FIRST HALF?

The match started very strategically with clear ideas: Flamengo focused on passing, while Palmeiras relied on long balls to Vitor Roque and Flaco López. The first play that stirred emotions occurred at 11 minutes when Raphael Veiga tackled Carrascal with a high foot, but the referee only gave a yellow card.

Soon after, at 14 minutes, Flamengo elicited the first “ooohhh” from the crowd. Varela made a beautiful pass to Bruno Henrique, who had some freedom but shot over the goal. Following that, at 15', Samuel Lino dribbled down the left but sent it wide.

Palmeiras only played on Flamengo's mistakes. At 20 minutes, Carrascal lost the ball in the middle, the São Paulo team countered quickly, and Khellven crossed to Vitor Roque. However, the number 9 missed the header and sent it over Rossi's goal.

Later, Flamengo avoided a problem. With the game stopped, Erick Pulgar hit Bruno Fuchs' shin with his studs, just like Veiga. The red-blacks were tense, fearing a VAR review, but the match continued. Thus, a 'non-expulsion' for each side.

In summary, Flamengo had more control of the game in the first half of the initial stage. However, after Pulgar's incident with Fuchs, Palmeiras gained more control. Nevertheless, neither Carlos Miguel nor Rossi had to make significant saves.

HOW WAS THE SECOND HALF?

At six minutes, an incredible chance arose. Murilo made a big mistake in ball clearance, Bruno Henrique recovered and passed to Arrascaeta in the box. The number 10 shot, but Gustavo Gómez managed to recover with a crucial slide tackle and saved Palmeiras.

The second half belonged to Flamengo! And thus, the goal was just a matter of time. At 21 minutes, Jorge Carrascal delivered a precise corner kick to Danilo's head. The defender rose high and brought joy to the Nation! Mengão 1-0.

Subsequently, Palmeiras went all out and insisted on aerial balls, creating real pressure. Flamengo's stars were tiring, so Filipe Luís substituted Arrascaeta and Bruno Henrique. At 43', Vitor Roque missed a goal in the small area, with a spectacular block by Danilo. In stoppage time, Everton Cebolinha even hit the post with a free-kick.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

After the Libertadores final, Flamengo now turns its focus to the final stretch of the Brasileirão. Needing two points in the last two rounds, the Most Beloved can secure the ninth championship on Wednesday (03), against Ceará, at Maracanã. The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).
