Flamengo's opponents end long-standing hoodoo before Libertadores clash | OneFootball

What taboo did Cusco (PER) break before facing Flamengo?

Flamengo face Cusco (PER) this Wednesday (08) in Peru in their opening match of the Copa Libertadores. Before the match against the Rubro-Negro side, the Peruvian team ended a significant drought this season.

That’s because Cusco beat Melgar (PER) 3-1 last Saturday (04) and recorded two consecutive wins this season. The Peruvian side had not managed such a run since November 2025.

Despite the second straight win, Cusco are not doing well in the Peruvian League. The team sits in sixth place with 13 points, ten fewer than leaders Los Chankas (PER). Flamengo’s opponent has four wins, one draw, and four defeats.

Flamengo’s match against Cusco is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. Brasília time this Wednesday (08) in Peru. The game, which marks their Libertadores opener, will be broadcast on Rede Globo on free-to-air TV and on GETV on YouTube.
