Leonardo Jardim makes drastic change before Flamengo v Coritiba | OneFootball

Flamengo face Coritiba this Saturday (30) in the 18th round of the Brasileirão

Flamengo’s win over Cusco (PER) in the final round of the Libertadores group stage featured the surprise inclusion of Andrew in goal. Even though he did not concede, however, Leonardo Jardim decided to restore Rossi to the starting lineup against Coritiba this Saturday (30).

Therefore, Andrew returns to the bench as an option for the 18th round of the Brasileirão, which will take place at the Maracanã. The news of Rossi’s place in the starting lineup was something the coach himself had already hinted at.

Did Andrew fail to make the most of the opportunity?

In fact, the young goalkeeper kept a clean sheet against Cusco, including a good save on a long-range shot from Nicolas Silva. Besides that intervention, the goalkeeper did not miss a single pass with his feet or make any mistakes coming off his line with his hands.

Is Rossi doing well in Flamengo’s goal?

Despite having a great 2025 season, Rossi has become the target of criticism from fans in recent matches. Statistically, the Argentine has conceded 27 goals in 27 games. However, the net does not always ripple because of the starting goalkeeper’s fault.

What time is Flamengo vs Coritiba?

With Rossi available, Flamengo return to Brasileirão action on Saturday (30). Thus, Mengão will face Coritiba at the Maracanã starting at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) in the 18th round.

As such, Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage of the match via the website, YouTube, and other social media channels. The match broadcast, however, will be on SporTV (subscription channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view).
