This year's Recopa Sudamericana final brings two allies face to face. This is because Flamengo and Lanús (ARG) have supported each other in past situations against their respective rivals. However, the 'friendship' gives way to the duel this Thursday (19th).
The first contact between the clubs began when the teams faced each other in 2012. On that occasion, the Argentinians received the Flamengo fans in a friendly manner during that year's Libertadores, which saw an early elimination for Flamengo.
In that same year, Lanús returned to Rio de Janeiro to face Vasco. If Vasco is on one side, the Most Beloved is on the other. So, some Flamengo fans were in the visitor section to support the Argentinians.
In the 2025 Sudamericana, Flamengo fans once again joined the Lanús supporters, who faced Fluminense and Vasco. Against Bragantino in the Brasileirão 2025, fans of Mengão brought a large banner of the Argentine team to greet and provoke Atlético-MG, the runner-up to Mengo's opponent.
Without friendship, Filipe Luís's team visits Lanús at the Néstor Díaz Pérez Stadium this Thursday (19th). The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), for the first leg of the final.
Thus, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the game between Flamengo and Lanús through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, ESPN (cable channel) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Recopa match.
