Flamengo were knocked out of the Copa do Brasil after a 2-0 defeat to Vitória on Thursday (14). After the match in Salvador, the Rubro-Negro squad returned to Rio de Janeiro. However, the stay in the ‘Marvelous City’ will be a short one, since Fla are heading into their fourth straight away match of the season.
In short, Flamengo first visited Independiente Medellín (COL) in Colombia for the fourth round of the Libertadores group stage. After that, the Rubro-Negro delegation traveled straight to Porto Alegre, where they faced Grêmio last Sunday (10) in the 15th round of the Brasileirão.
Then, on Thursday (14), Flamengo faced Vitória again in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil at Barradão in Salvador. Now, wrapping up this sequence of away matches, the Red-and-Black still have to visit Athletico-PR at Arena da Baixada in Curitiba this Sunday (17), in the 16th round of the Brasileirão.
*Conmebol canceled the match due to lack of security after protests by Independiente Medellín fans.
After the win over Grêmio and Palmeiras’ draw against Remo, Flamengo closed the gap at the top of the Brasileirão. At the moment, the Rubro-Negro have 30 points, while Palmeiras have 34, but they have also played one more match than Fla.
In the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo were eliminated after losing to Vitória. Despite winning the first leg 2-1, the Red-and-Black ended up losing the return leg 2-0 away from home and said goodbye to the competition in the fifth round.
Finally, in the Libertadores, Flamengo are waiting for Conmebol to officially confirm the walkover against Independiente Medellín. Once the 3-0 win over the Colombian side is confirmed, Fla will seal qualification for the Libertadores round of 16, as they will reach 10 points and move to the top of Group A.
This Sunday (17), Flamengo face Athletico-PR in a match valid for the 16th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will take place at Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, starting at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
