Libertadores: Flamengo defend 24-year unbeaten run v Colombians | OneFootball

Flamengo faces Independiente Medellín (COL) at the Maracanã in the Libertadores

In 2002, Brazil became five-time world champion, the euro began circulating, and the Von Richthofen parents were murdered. That was what the world looked like the last time Flamengo lost to a Colombian team, a streak the Rubro-Negro will defend this Thursday (16).

Twenty-four years ago, the Most Beloved lost 1-0 to Once Caldas (COL) in the group stage of the Libertadores. At home, however, the Rubro-Negro won 4-1. Since then, Fla have either won or drawn in clashes against Colombian sides.

How many times has Flamengo faced Colombian teams since 2002?

Flamengo 3×0 Millonarios (Libertadores 2024) Fla 1×1 Millonarios (Libertadores 2024) Fla 7×1 Tolima (Libertadores 2022) Fla 1×0 Tolima (Libertadores 2022) Fla 3×1 Junior Barranquilla (Libertadores 2020) Fla 2×1 Junior Barranquilla (Libertadores 2020) Fla 0x0 Santa Fe (Libertadores 2018) Fla 1×1 Santa Fe (Libertadores 2018) Fla 2×0 Junior Barranquilla (Copa Sudamericana 2017) Fla 2×1 Junior Barranquilla (Copa Sudamericana 2017) Fla 4×1 Once Caldas (Libertadores 2002) Fla 0x1 Once Caldas (Libertadores 2002)

Therefore, since the loss to Once Caldas, the Most Beloved has faced Colombian opponents 11 times. In that span, Fla won eight and drew three. Against Junior Barranquilla in the 2017 Copa Sudamericana, the victories took them to the final of the competition, but without a trophy for the Rubro-Negro.

Who is the next Colombian team Flamengo will face?

The match between Flamengo and Independiente Medellín (COL) kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Thursday (16), in the second round of the Libertadores. The match will be played at the Maracanã, in Rio de Janeiro.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Independiente Medellín through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, ESPN and Disney+ will broadcast the Libertadores match.
