The Flamengo lost to Bahia last Sunday, by 1 to 0, at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. This was the first time that Rubro-negro went two consecutive games without scoring a goal in the competition.
In the previous match, coach Filipe Luís's team drew with the Cruzeiro 0 to 0, at Mineirão. In the previous 25 rounds, Flamengo did not go two in a row without shaking the nets. On the other hand, Rubro-negro has the best attack in the Brasileirão, with 50 goals scored.
In 2025, Rubro-negro also went two games without scoring between April 19 and 22: 0 to 0 against the Vasco (Brazilian Championship) and against the LDU (Copa Libertadores).
The draw against Bahia also cost the leadership of the Brazilian Championship to the Palmeiras, which had earlier beaten São Paulo in a turnaround, by 3 to 2. With the results, both teams went to 55 points, but Verdão has the advantage in the number of wins (17 against 16).
In addition, Alviverde still has one game less compared to Flamengo.
The cariocas are experiencing a moment of fluctuation in the competition. In the last six rounds, Flamengo has two wins, three draws, and one loss. In the same period, Palmeiras added four wins, one draw, and one loss.
In all competitions, Rubro-negro has only one win in the last five games.
