A surprise among the four teams qualified for the semifinals of the Campeonato Carioca, Madureira will face Flamengo this Sunday (22). For the match taking place at Maracanã, starting at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), coach Toninho Andrade has lined up the team without surprises.
Neguete; Júlio César, Marcão, Jean Vianna, Matheus Julião; Lindoso, Jacó, Fubá; Maranhão, Juninho and Everton.
The team facing Flamengo is completely different from the one that played last Wednesday (18). Against Baré-RR, in Roraima, in the debut of the Copa do Brasil, Madureira played with reserves. Even so, the team advanced with a 3-0 victory.
The team has no injuries or suspensions. However, they need to be cautious with Fubá. The Madureira midfielder is on a yellow card warning and, if he receives another yellow card, he will not play the return match against Flamengo on March 2, again at Maracanã.
Madureira finished the first phase in second place in Group B, ahead of Flamengo, for example, which ended up in fourth. At that time, the Suburban Tricolor scored eight points in six games, with two wins, two draws, and two losses, five goals scored and six conceded.
In the quarterfinals, in a single match, Madureira defeated Boavista 2-1, qualifying to face Flamengo in the semifinals. In the previous stage, the current two-time champion beat Botafogo by the same score, playing on the synthetic field of Estádio Nilton Santos.
The match between Flamengo and Madureira kicks off at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (22), with full coverage by Coluna do Fla, directly from Maracanã. Additionally, GETV (YouTube), SporTV (cable channel), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the first leg of the Carioca semifinal.
