Flamengo are getting ready to face Botafogo next Sunday (30) in a match valid for the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship. For the Rio derby at the Maracanã, Fla have already sold more than 50,000 tickets in advance.
Journalist Venê Casagrande first reported the information. As of the night of last Tuesday (25), the Most Beloved had sold around 50,000 tickets. However, the expectation is for more than 70,000 fans to be at the Maracanã.
In short, Flamengo are coming off a defeat in the final minute against Cruzeiro on Saturday (22). On that occasion, the Most Beloved opened the scoring with Pedro within the first 45 minutes. However, in the second half, the red-and-black team suffered a real ‘blackout’. As a result, Arroyo scored the equalizer in the 9th minute of the second half.
However, it was in stoppage time, exactly in the 49th minute, that Cruzeiro turned the match around through Matheus Pereira. Right at the death, the player made it 2-1 for the team from Minas Gerais. With that, Flamengo missed a great opportunity to move right up alongside leaders Palmeiras.
It is worth noting that Flamengo only return to the pitch on Sunday (30), when they take on Botafogo starting at 4pm (Brasília time). The clash, valid for the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship, takes place at the Maracanã.
In addition, the Rio derby will be broadcast live by Rede Globo on free-to-air TV. On the other hand, GE TV on YouTube and Premiere on pay-per-view will also show the Flamengo vs Botafogo match. Finally, Coluna do Fla will follow every detail of the match through its website, social media, and YouTube channel.
