Flamengo v Corinthians in Supercopa decider after 35 years, revisit | OneFootball

This Sunday, Flamengo and Corinthians will decide the Supercopa do Brasil of 2026. This will not be the first time the teams compete for the trophy. The teams already faced each other in the second edition of the tournament, in 1991.

At that time, Corinthians qualified to compete for the cup after winning the Brazilian championship the previous year. Flamengo, on the other hand, was the champion of the Copa do Brasil in 1990.

The winner of that match was Timão. The team from Parque São Jorge, then led by Nelsinho Baptista, came out on top with a 1-0 victory, with a goal scored by Neto. The team from São Paulo also featured other notable players, such as goalkeeper Ronaldo and forward Paulo Sérgio.

Flamengo, in turn, was managed by Vanderlei Luxemburgo and had in its squad a rival idol: Marcelinho Carioca. That year's edition was held at Morumbi, the stadium of São Paulo, which hosted less than three thousand fans on the occasion.

Right after 1991, the Supercopa do Brasil went on hiatus and was not held between 1992 and 2019. Since the competition resumed in 2020, Flamengo has participated in five of the six editions and won three. Corinthians, on the other hand, will compete for the trophy again for the first time since 1991.

The clash between the teams is scheduled for this Sunday at 4 PM (Brasília time), at Mané Garrincha, in Brasília.
