Flamengo squad given the day off on Friday after Recopa loss to Lanús | OneFootball

Break was already planned in Flamengo's schedule before the game against Lanús (ARG)

Last Thursday (19), Flamengo lost the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana 1-0 to Lanús (ARG). Amid an inconsistent start to the season, the red-black squad was given a break this Friday (20).

In summary, the break was already planned in Flamengo's schedule. Thus, the defeat to Lanús did not alter the red-black plans. As a result, the Fla squad received a break this Friday (20) and will only have Saturday (21) to prepare for the match against Madureira, scheduled for Sunday (22).

What is Fla's situation in the Recopa?

Due to the 1-0 scoreline achieved in Argentina, Lanús can even draw at Maracanã and still be crowned champions of the Recopa Sudamericana. However, a simple victory by Flamengo would take the decision to a penalty shootout.

In other words, Flamengo needs to win the return match by at least two goals to claim the title without needing penalties. So far, the Most Beloved has sold over 50,000 tickets in advance for the match.

When will the return match between Flamengo and Lanús take place?

The second match between Flamengo and Lanús, officially deciding the Recopa Sudamericana title, will take place on Thursday (26). The duel will be held at Maracanã, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasilia time), with broadcast on ESPN, on a closed channel, and on Disney +, via streaming.

And before that?

However, before competing for the Recopa Sudamericana title, Flamengo faces Madureira in the semifinals of the Campeonato Carioca. The teams will face off on Sunday (22), starting at 8:30 PM (Brasilia time).
