After 35 Years, Flamengo and Corinthians Face Off Again in a Supercopa Final

Flamengo and Corinthians will face each other this Sunday (01), at Mané Garrincha Stadium, in a match valid for the Supercopa do Brasil final. The two teams have already faced each other in the competition back in 1991, and Coluna do Fla recalls the teams that took the field.

First of all, Flamengo and Corinthians faced each other on January 27, 1991, in the second edition of the Supercopa. The match was played at Morumbi, São Paulo’s home stadium. Mengão were the champions of the Copa do Brasil, while the team from São Paulo won the Brasileirão in 1990.

HOW WERE THE TEAMS?

On the other hand, Nelsinho Baptista was in charge of Corinthians at the time. The coach lined up the São Paulo team as follows: Ronaldo Giovanelli; Giba, Marcelo, Guinei, Jacenir, Márcio, Tupãzinho, Neto, Fabinho, Paulo Sérgio, and Mauro.

HOW WAS THE GAME?

Morumbi saw a lower-than-expected crowd, with only 2,706 fans in attendance. At the time, the revenue was 2.8 million cruzeiros. However, Corinthians came out on top against Flamengo. That’s because Neto scored the only goal of the match, at the 25th minute of the second half.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO VS CORINTHIANS?

So, 35 years later, Flamengo and Corinthians will face each other again in the Supercopa do Brasil final. The match will take place this Sunday (01), at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), at Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília.
