Now, Flamengo Faces Fluminense in the Campeonato Carioca Final

Flamengo showed no mercy against Madureira this Monday (02), crushing them 8-0 and reaching the final of the Campeonato Carioca. This marks the eighth consecutive time the red-black team will compete in the state tournament's final.

It didn't take long for Flamengo to open the scoring, with Lucas Paquetá scoring twice to make it 2-0. Shortly after, Jean Vianna scored an own goal, and Mengão made it 3-0. Finally, still in the first half, Pedro increased the lead to 4-0.

After the break, Flamengo didn't let up, and Pedro scored twice more in three minutes, increasing the score to 6-0. The striker himself scored his fourth goal, the seventh for the red-black team. Finally, Samuel Lino scored the eighth and sealed the rout.

HOW HAS FLAMENGO'S HISTORY BEEN DURING THIS PERIOD?

The streak began in 2019, when they defeated Vasco twice in the final. Soon after, the red-black team overcame Fluminense again, with two victories. O Mais Querido and the Laranjeiras team faced each other again in 2021, with Mengão coming out on top.

In 2022 and 2023, however, Flamengo broke the streak and missed the chance for a fourth consecutive title by being defeated by Fluminense on both occasions. First, they lost on aggregate 3-1. Finally, they were overcome 4-0, after having won the first leg 2-0.

However, Flamengo returned to being the Campeonato Carioca champions in 2024, with victories against Nova Iguaçu in both final matches. Finally, last season, the red-black team overcame Fluminense with a win and a draw.

WHEN WILL THE FINAL AGAINST FLUMINENSE BE?

Thus, the Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation (FERJ) has set the date and time for the Campeonato Carioca final. The decision will be next Sunday (08), at 6 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Finally, it is worth noting that the match will be a single game.
