In seven matches, Flamengo have lost to Racing only once in history | OneFootball

The time to find out the first finalist of the 2025 Copa Libertadores is approaching. This Wednesday, Flamengo and Racing face off at El Cilindro, in Argentina, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), in the second leg of the competition’s semifinal. The hopes of the Rubro-Negro rest on their strong record against the Argentinians: only one loss in seven matches in the history between the clubs.

Flamengo’s only defeat to Racing in their entire history happened on November 11, 1992, when Mengão lost 1-0 to the Argentinians in a match valid for the Supercopa Libertadores. In that game, Racing had Gustavo Costas, a great idol and the club’s current coach, on the field as a defender.

Despite suffering only one setback, Flamengo has a balanced record against Racing: in seven matches, there have been two Flamengo victories, four draws, and one Argentinian win.

Meanwhile, Racing needs a victory by two goals to advance to the final in regular time. An Argentinian win by the minimum margin will take the decision of the finalist to a penalty shootout.
