Flamengo wrapped up its April schedule with a 1-1 draw against Estudiantes (ARG) in the Libertadores at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium in La Plata. With the result, Mengão closed the month with an 81.4% success rate across nine matches.
Overall, Flamengo recorded seven wins, one draw, and one loss in the nine matches played, reaching 20 goals scored and eight conceded. In that sense, the Rubro-Negro spread its efforts across three competitions, playing five matches in the Brasileirão, three in the Libertadores, and one in the Copa do Brasil.
After overcoming the early stumble against Bragantino at the start of the month, Flamengo got back to winning ways and produced a dominant performance. In that sense, Mengão not only recovered the points it had dropped, but also raised its attacking level, culminating in the historic rout of Atlético-MG away from home.
Showing clear improvement on all fronts, Flamengo climbed the standings to fight directly for the title. At the moment, the team coached by Leonardo Jardim sits in second place with 26 points, behind Palmeiras, who have 32 and one more match played.
Now, Flamengo turns its focus to its May commitments, which include matches in the Brasileirão, Libertadores, and Copa do Brasil. This Sunday (03), the Rubro-Negro face Vasco in the 14th round of the Brasileirão. Kickoff is at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. Of course, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring full coverage of the clash through the website, YouTube, and social media.
