Flamengo must break their hoodoo to win the Recopa against Lanús | OneFootball

Flamengo and Lanús (ARG) decide the South American Recopa this Thursday (26)

The title of the 2026 South American Recopa will be contested between Flamengo and Lanús, this Thursday (26), at Maracanã. However, to become champions, the Rubro-Negro needs to break a four-year taboo.

This is because the Most Beloved lost the first game to Lanús by 1-0. However, since 2022, the Mengão has not been able to overturn a result after losing the first leg. Since then, there have been four lost confrontations.

What was the last confrontation that Flamengo managed to overturn?

At Mineirão, Atlético-MG defeated the Rubro-Negro 2-1 in the Copa do Brasil. Then, Gabigol called on the fans to create "hell" in the return match at Maracanã. Thus, Fla had the support of the crowd to win 2-0.

Which confrontations did Flamengo fail to overturn?

Besides breaking the taboo, the title could serve as a kind of turning point. This is because the start of the season is turbulent for the Gávea club. There are six defeats, two draws, and five victories in 13 games.

What is Flamengo's next game?

Motivated to break the taboo, Flamengo led by Filipe Luís faces Lanús starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Thursday (26). The decision takes place at Maracanã for the South American Recopa trophy.

Thus, Coluna do Fla brings all the details of the game between Flamengo and Lanús through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, the match is broadcast by ESPN (closed channel) and Disney+ (streaming).
