WHAT WERE FLAMENGO’S MATCHES IN SEPTEMBER?

Flamengo’s September began with a comfortable 2-0 win over Mirassol at the Maracanã in the Brazilian Championship. Next, the Rubro-Negro side beat Remo 1-0 at Mangueirão Stadium, keeping up its momentum in the national competition. Later, the Rio de Janeiro team took an important step in the Libertadores by defeating Independiente del Valle (ECU) 2-0 at altitude in Quito, Ecuador, in the first leg of the quarterfinals.

After that, Rubro-Negro defeated Corinthians 2-1 at the Maracanã in the Brasileirão. However, the following Libertadores clash ended in a 1-1 draw with the same Independiente del Valle, a result that still secured the team’s qualification for the semifinals of the continental tournament.

Finally, Leonardo Jardim’s men closed the month with another important win in the national tournament, beating Bragantino 2-1 at the Maracanã. Flamengo currently sits alone at the top of the Brasileirão with 60 points, three ahead of second-place Palmeiras, who have 57.

In short, September brought Flamengo five wins and one draw in six matches, securing an excellent 88.8% success rate. In addition, during that stretch, the Rubro-Negro team scored ten goals and conceded three.
