Filipe Luís matches Jorge Jesus’ Flamengo feat in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

With the end of the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo secured its eighth trophy in the competition and repeated a feat that only the Rubro-Negro itself, in 2019 under the command of Jorge Jesus, had achieved: winning the tournament undefeated as the home team. Now, six teams are part of the list of undefeated home teams in the era of the points system, but only the Rubro-Negro won the title.

In 2019, Flamengo recorded the best campaign in the history of the Brasileirão with 20 clubs, totaling 90 points. Playing at Maracanã, the team also had the best home performance, with 17 wins, two draws, and no losses. Out of 57 points contested, the Rubro-Negro secured 53.

This season, although Filipe Luís's team was not as dominant as Jorge Jesus's, Flamengo was once again the best home team and lifted the Brasileirão trophy. At Maracanã, the team recorded 14 wins and five draws, letting only ten points slip away.

Other Undefeated Teams

Although Flamengo is the only undefeated champion as a home team, it is not the only club to go through a Brasileirão season without home losses. Since 2003, four other teams have achieved this feat.

This season, in addition to Flamengo, Mirassol also remained undefeated at José Campos Maia, in its first participation in the elite of Brazilian football. In 19 matches, there were 12 wins and seven draws, registering the fifth-best home campaign and contributing to their fourth place finish in the Brazilian Championship.

Relegated this season, Fortaleza also had an undefeated home campaign in a Brasileirão season. In 2024, the team led by Vojvoda was the best at home, with 14 wins and five draws, securing fourth place in the competition.

The other two undefeated home campaigns occurred in 2012, with Atlético-MG, and 2009, with Grêmio. Galo, the runner-up that year, was the second-best home team, with 14 wins and five draws, playing mostly at Independência. On the other hand, Imortal, who had a great campaign at Olímpico, also with 14 wins and five draws, finished in eighth place.
