Estudiantes v Flamengo: Flamengo’s record after home first-leg win

Flamengo won the first home game eight times and advanced six times

Winning the first home game is synonymous with advancement for Flamengo in the Libertadores? Most of the time, yes. In the eight times that Mengão took the lead in previous years, they secured the spot six times. The Rubro-Negro is seeking their seventh phase advancement this Thursday (25), against Estudiantes (ARG).

WHAT ARE THE GOOD MEMORIES?

From the list of games where Flamengo won the first leg, one match occurred in a championship year. In 2019, Mengão won the first leg of the quarter-finals against Internacional. In the return match at Beira-Rio, the Most Beloved held the draw and advanced to the semis.

Internacional itself was responsible for the most recent advancement of Flamengo after winning at Maracanã. In the round of 16 of the Libertadores 2025, Mengão won 1-0 in Rio de Janeiro. However, unlike Jorge Jesus's team, Filipe Luís's squad also won in Porto Alegre, 2-0.

LET'S NOT REPEAT A MEMORY, FLAMENGO?!

Of all Flamengo's victories in the first leg at Maracanã, only one was 2-1, like in 2025: in the quarter-finals of the Libertadores of 1991. Curiously, the same stage of the clashes with Estudiantes. On that occasion, another Argentine team in the way, Boca Juniors (ARG).

However, the final result is one to be forgotten by Flamengo fans: Boca's victory at Bombonera by 3-0 and Mengão's elimination. Therefore, something that does not cross the minds of the Red-Black Nation this Thursday (25), in La Plata.

Thus, the ball rolls for Estudiantes vs. Flamengo starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, in La Plata. Therefore, with the 2-1 from Maracanã, the Most Beloved can even draw to face Racing (ARG) in the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores da América.
