Flamengo was defeated by Lanús (ARG) 1-0 this Thursday (19th), in the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. As a result, the Rubro-Negro continues a negative streak of almost four years on Argentine soil.
This is because Flamengo has not won a match in Argentina since August 2022. On that occasion, Mengão thrashed Vélez Sarsfield 4-0 in the semifinals of the Libertadores. Since then, Rubro-Negro has played five matches in the neighboring country, recording three draws and two losses.
Flamengo was unable to impose its playing style over the 90 minutes of the match against Lanús. Not surprisingly, the Rubro-Negro only managed one shot on target, by Everton Cebolinha in the first half.
On the other hand, Lanús dominated the match and had two goals disallowed for offside. Then, in the 32nd minute of the second half, Rodrigo Castillo rose unmarked between Flamengo’s defenders and scored the goal that secured the victory for the Argentine team.
Flamengo now turns its focus to the Campeonato Carioca. Furthermore, this Sunday (22nd), Filipe Luís’s team faces Madureira at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in the first leg of the State Championship semifinal.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Madureira through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, GE TV (YouTube), SporTV (cable channel), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca match.
