Lanús (ARG) was supposed to play this Sunday (22), for the Argentine Championship

The Argentine Football Association has postponed the match of Lanús (ARG), Flamengo’s opponent in the Recopa. The team was set to face Argentinos Juniors (ARG) this Sunday (22), but due to both teams’ midweek commitments in Conmebol competitions, the organization decided to give both sides a ‘rest’.

Lanús will face Flamengo next Thursday (26), in the second leg of the Recopa, at Maracanã. Having won the first match 1-0, the Argentines can even draw in Rio de Janeiro to claim the unprecedented title. Meanwhile, Mengão will need a win by two goals to secure their second championship.

Argentinos Juniors, on the other hand, are playing in the Libertadores qualifiers. After defeating Barcelona (EQU) in Guayaquil 1-0 last week, Diego Maradona’s former team returns to the field this Wednesday (25) needing only a home draw. The match will take place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).

WHICH GAME WAS POSTPONED?

Argentinos Juniors vs. Lanús was set to take place in the sixth round of the Argentine Championship. Flamengo’s opponent in the Recopa is currently eighth in Group A, with two wins, two draws, and one loss in five matches. Additionally, the current Copa Sudamericana champions have scored eight goals and conceded the same number.

AND WILL FLAMENGO GET A BREAK?

Unlike Lanús, Flamengo will not have time to rest. That’s because the Most Beloved faces Madureira this Sunday (22), starting at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The match is valid for the semifinal of the Campeonato Carioca.
