Total control: Flamengo extend Coutinho’s unwanted record | OneFootball

Flamengo defeated Vasco 1-0 in a match where Coutinho barely saw the ball

Philippe Coutinho conquered European football, but so far the midfielder has not been a match for Flamengo. This is because the Vasco youth academy player reached his ninth match against the Rubro-Negro on Wednesday (21) without ever having defeated the rival.

Thus, the Most Beloved defeated Coutinho's Vasco six times and drew three. On Wednesday, Fla won 1-0 in a match where the Vasco midfielder barely touched the ball. This is because the player did not create any goal chances and did not even attempt a shot.

What are Coutinho's matches against Flamengo?

Therefore, Coutinho's debut against Mengão occurred in 2010. On that occasion, the Most Beloved also won 1-0, with two penalties missed by Dodô and one converted by Adriano Imperador.

During the celebration, the Rubro-Negro idol took off the Sacred Mantle to reveal a shirt with the phrase “May God Forgive these Bad People.” Coutinho saw it all from the sidelines, as he was a starter and only left the field at the 40th minute of the second half.

Has Coutinho ever scored against Flamengo?

The midfielder, who has played for the Brazilian National Team, can say he has had the privilege of scoring against the Most Beloved. The goal happened in 2024, but it only resulted in a 1-1 draw in the Brasileirão.

When is Flamengo's next match in the Carioca?

Now free of Coutinho, Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (25) to face Fluminense, for the fourth round of the Carioca. The match kicks off at 6 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
