Flamengo needs to beat Lanús (ARG) by at least two goals to win the Recopa. The Most Beloved, however, hasn't managed a comeback in a knockout stage since 2022. Therefore, the Rubro-Negro needs to break this taboo if they want to claim the champion's sash.
The last time Flamengo managed to overturn a deficit in a knockout match was against Atlético-MG, in the Copa do Brasil. At that time, the Most Beloved beat the team from Minas Gerais 2-0 at Maracanã and advanced to the next stage.
Since then, Flamengo has been at a disadvantage in knockout matches four times, but couldn't pull off a comeback. Therefore, the Most Beloved needs to end this taboo if they want to be champions.
Just like in the first leg, Flamengo and Lanús face each other starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), this time at Maracanã. Therefore, the Most Beloved will have the support of the Rubro-Negro fans against the Argentine team.
The match between Flamengo and Lanús will be broadcast on ESPN, on pay TV, and on Disney+ via streaming. In addition, Coluna do Fla brings all the details of the match through social media directly from Maracanã.
