The 26th round of the Brasileirão already got underway without Flamengo. That is because Fluminense beat Vasco 1-0, which brought the team from Laranjeiras closer to Rubro-Negro. Then, a Bragantino loss and a São Paulo win rounded off this Saturday (05).

At the Maracanã, Lucho Acosta scored the winning goal for Fluminense against Vasco. As a result, the nine-point gap between Tricolor and Mais Querido dropped to six. The São Januário side, however, remained in 17th place in the table, the first spot in the relegation zone.
In Bragança Paulista, Lucas Barbosa opened the scoring for the home team, but Luciano Juba and Alejo Véliz equalized and turned it around for Bahia. Then Santiago scored an own goal for Bragantino, and Erick put the visitors back in front once again.
São Paulo, coached by Dorival Júnior, picked up another win with goals from Luciano and Iago against Atlético-MG. The result at Morumbi took the home side to 33 points, three behind the visitors from Minas Gerais.
With this Saturday’s results, Flamengo remain in second place in the Brasileirão with 51 points. Therefore, Fla need to beat Remo this Sunday (06) and hope Palmeiras slip up against Botafogo.
The clash between Flamengo and Remo takes place this Sunday (06) at 4:00 p.m. Brasília time. The match is valid for the 26th round of the Brasileirão, at Mangueirão Stadium in Belém. So, the result could bring Rubro-Negro even closer to the top of the national competition.
Therefore, Grupo Globo will broadcast the match on free-to-air TV, while Premiere will air it on pay-per-view. In addition, GE TV on YouTube and Coluna do Fla’s full coverage will also follow the clash.
The truth is, that game was painful to watch. Derbies in Rio de Janeiro are good when Flamengo are involved. It has nothing to do with being a fan of one side or the other. It has to do with the quality of football,” said João Vítor Reis of Coluna do Fla.
