Flamengo title-winner becomes Copa do Brasil runner-up with Vasco | OneFootball

Vasco Continues Without Winning a National Title Since 2011

Flamengo is on vacation and is watching the final stretch of the season in a celebratory mood after winning four titles in 2025. Thus, the red-black team has learned its opponent for the 2026 Supercopa do Brasil: Corinthians. The São Paulo team defeated Vasco 2-1 in the final of the Copa do Brasil.

Therefore, the 2026 Supercopa do Brasil is expected to take place on January 24 of next year. However, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) still needs to confirm the location, date, and time of the decision.

It is worth mentioning that the CBF is working behind the scenes to define the venue for the Supercopa do Brasil. Three stadiums are competing for the right to host the final: Estádio Mané Garrincha in Brasília, Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador, and Arena da Amazônia in Manaus.

EX-FLAMENGO VICE WITH VASCO?

Matheus França joined Vasco this season but already knows the taste of being a runner-up. The midfielder, revealed by Flamengo, was a champion with Mengão in 2022 in the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores.

HOW WAS THE GAME BETWEEN VASCO AND CORINTHIANS?

Corinthians, even playing away, opened the scoring with striker Yuri Alberto at 18 minutes of the first half. Matheuzinho, former Flamengo, provided the assist. Vasco equalized with Nuno Moreira at 41' of the first half.

In the second half, Vasco pressed Corinthians looking for a comeback. However, the São Paulo team found the goal at 18 minutes. Breno Bidon made a great play, found Yuri Alberto, and the forward passed to Memphis Depay, who was free to finish and score the 2-1.

THE RUNNER-UP RETURNS?

Thus, unlike Flamengo, which won four titles in 2025, Vasco continues its drought of national titles. This is because the last time Vasco lifted a trophy was in 2011, against Coritiba, in the Copa do Brasil.
