What were the Brasileirão matches this Saturday?

*Brasília time.

The match that opened the 24th round of the Brasileirão took place at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday (22). At the Maracanã, Fluminense beat Remo 2-1, with goals from Kevin Serna and Hulk for the Tricolor side, and Jajá for the visitors.

Right after that, at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), Internacional drew 0-0 with Atlético-MG at Beira-Rio. Even with the Minas Gerais side taking the field with a mixed lineup, the team from Rio Grande do Sul could not get the win at home.

Finally, closing out Saturday’s run of matches (22), Flamengo lost 2-1 to Cruzeiro after coming from ahead. While Pedro opened the scoring for the Rubro-Negro, Arroyo and Matheus Pereira secured the win for the Minas Gerais side.

Did Flamengo waste a chance to take over the Brasileirão lead?

Yes! Had they gotten the better of Cruzeiro, Flamengo would have moved into first place in the Brasileirão, at least temporarily. That is because Rubro-Negro would have been level on points and wins with Palmeiras, but would have gone ahead on goal difference.

With the loss, however, Flamengo remained on 45 points, in second place in the Brasileirão. In addition, Leonardo Jardim’s team could see Palmeiras open up a six-point lead at the top, since the São Paulo side face Vasco this Sunday (23).

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo will now have a week without matches because of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals. As a result, Leonardo Jardim’s team return to the pitch next Sunday (30), when they face Botafogo at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the 25th round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla brings you all the details on Flamengo throughout the 2026 season. So stay tuned to the website, social media, and YouTube. In addition, Globo (free-to-air), GE TV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match against Botafogo.
