Flamengo set new defensive record after Fluminense clash | OneFootball

What defensive milestone did Flamengo achieve after the match against Fluminense?

The defensive system of Flamengo returned to form after an excellent performance in the 2025 season. This is because, in the last two games, the Most Beloved did not concede any goals, achieving an unprecedented streak in 2026.

Before drawing 0-0 with Fluminense in the final of the Campeonato Carioca, Flamengo defeated Madureira 8-0, also at Maracanã. In other words, the Most Beloved has not conceded a goal in two games this season.

Previously, the only match where Flamengo did not concede a goal was against Vasco, in the Campeonato Carioca. On that occasion, it was the first match of the Most Beloved's professional squad of the season.

What is the next challenge?

Now, the Flamengo squad focuses its attention on the match against Cruzeiro, for the fifth round of the Brasileirão. The match will take place on Wednesday (11), at Maracanã. Thus, Leonardo Jardim will not have much time to prepare the team.

The Flamengo squad returned to training this Monday (09) at the Ninho do Urubu training center and began preparations for the match against Cruzeiro. The Most Beloved will thus complete their preparation this Wednesday (11), as the game is scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time).
