Filipe Luís backs Flamengo comeback for Recopa title vs Lanús | OneFootball

Flamengo and Lanús face off on Thursday (26) at Maracanã

Right after Flamengo defeated Madureira 3-0 in the Carioca, the focus quickly shifted to the Recopa decision. Next Thursday (26), the Rubro-Negro hosts Lanús (ARG) for the return match, trying to overturn the 1-0 loss suffered in Argentina. Despite the disadvantage, Filipe Luís was categorical in showing confidence in a comeback and assured that “there is no doubt” about the team's ability to turn the game around.

— They are the South American champions, eliminated Brazilian teams, and are a team that reminds us of Estudiantes, which was a game that bothered us. It's not a concern, we have to work. I have no doubt that with a packed Maraca we can overturn this situation -, said Filipe Luís in a press conference this Sunday (22).

WHEN IS THE RETURN MATCH?

In pursuit of the first title of the season, Flamengo hosts Lanús next Thursday (26) at Maracanã and will have the home advantage in the return match. Thus, the decisive clash begins at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with full coverage by Coluna do Fla.

After losing the first leg 1-0, the Rubro-Negro needs to win by two or more goals to secure the trophy. Thus, in case of a tie in the aggregate score, the decision will be made by penalties.
