Flamengo qualified for the quarterfinals of the Campeonato Carioca after a 7-1 thrashing of Sampaio Corrêa. Therefore, the Most Beloved will face Botafogo in the next stage.
This is because Flamengo finished fourth in Group B, with seven points. Thus, the Most Beloved will necessarily have to face the first-place team from the same phase, according to the regulations of the Carioca.
Botafogo, with ten points, secured first place in the Campeonato Carioca. The black-and-white team will still take the field this Sunday (08), against Vasco, for the last round of the state championship.
Yes! The quarterfinals will be decided in a single match and there will be no advantage. Therefore, in the event of a draw, the qualification will be decided by penalties. Currently, FERJ has not yet announced the date of the matches.
Flamengo now turns its attention to the match against Vitória, on Tuesday (10), for the third round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The match will be played from 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Barradão.
