Flamengo have never lost to Brazil national team, see the record | OneFootball

Brazilian National Team has Samuel Lino as an option to play against Chile at Maracanã

The Brazilian National Team plays this Thursday (04) at Maracanã, home of Flamengo, one of the Canarinho team's toughest opponents. This is because the Most Beloved and Brazil have faced each other three times in history, all at the iconic stadium in Rio de Janeiro, and the red-black team has never been defeated.

The most recent match between Flamengo and Brazil took place in 1976, at the Geraldo Cleofas Dias Alves Cup. The single-match tournament was organized as a tribute to former player Geraldo Assoviador, who died during a tonsil surgery. All proceeds from the game, about 3 million cruzeiros, were donated to the family of the great promise of the Red-Black.

Zico vs. Pelé?

Besides the tribute, the cup brought idol Zico and king Pelé face to face. On that occasion, the Most Beloved defeated the Brazilian National Team 2-0, in front of 142,000 people at Maracanã. The Flamengo goals were scored by Paulinho and Luís Paulo.

What were the three matches?

Therefore, in 1958, Flamengo overcame the national team that would go on to become the world champion that year. This is because the red-black club provided the largest number of players for the national team: Joel, Moacir, Dida, and Zagallo. Depleted of these four starters, Flamengo defeated Brazil 1-0, 28 days before the World Cup. The Flamengo goal in the preparatory friendly was scored by Manoelzinho.

Is there a Flamengo player currently in the National Team?

Recently arrived at Flamengo, forward Samuel Lino received his first call-up to the Brazilian National Team to replace the injured Matheus Cunha. Initially, left-back Alex Sandro had been called up, but he suffered a calf injury.

What time does the Brazilian National Team play?

With Samuel Lino available, the Brazilian National Team faces Chile at Maracanã at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Thursday (04). Following this, next Tuesday (09), Carlo Ancelotti's team visits Bolivia in El Alto. The match kicks off at 8:30 PM (Brasília time).
