Flamengo beat Grêmio 1-0 on Sunday (10), in the 15th round of the Brasileirão. After the win in Porto Alegre, the red-and-black squad returned to Rio de Janeiro. However, the stop in the ‘Marvelous City’ will be a quick one, since Fla are heading into their third straight away fixture of the season.
In short, first Flamengo visited Independiente Medellín (COL) in Colombia for the fourth round of the Libertadores group stage. After that, the red-and-black delegation traveled straight to Porto Alegre, where they faced Grêmio on Sunday (10) in the 15th round of the Brasileirão.
Now, this Thursday (14), Flamengo face Vitória again in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil, at Barradão in Salvador. But it does not end there. Wrapping up this run of away matches, the Most Beloved will also visit Athletico-PR at Arena da Baixada in Curitiba on Sunday (17), for the 16th round of the Brasileirão.
*Conmebol canceled the match due to lack of security following protests by Independiente Medellín supporters.
After the win over Grêmio and Palmeiras’ draw against Remo, Flamengo closed the gap at the top of the Brasileirão. At the moment, the Red-and-Black have 30 points, while Palmeiras have 34, but they have also played one more match than Fla.
In the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo arrive in Salvador with an advantage over Vitória. That is because, in the first leg of the fifth round at the Maracanã, the team coached by Leonardo Jardim beat the Bahia side 2-1.
Finally, in the Libertadores, Flamengo are waiting for Conmebol to officially award the walkover against Independiente Medellín. Once the 3-0 victory over the Colombian side is confirmed, Fla will seal qualification for the round of 16 of the Libertadores, as they will reach ten points and top Group A.
This Thursday (14), Flamengo face Vitória again in the second leg of the fifth round of the national knockout tournament. The match takes place at Barradão in Salvador, starting at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
