Flamengo squad given Friday off after Recopa runners-up finish to Lanús | OneFootball

According to Coluna Do Fla, Flamengo have been given Friday off after finishing runners-up to Lanús in the Recopa Sul-Americana, with training to resume on Saturday morning.

Flamengo lost the first leg 1-0 in Argentina on Thursday. At the Maracanã they led 2-1 after 90 minutes, only to concede in extra time and lose 3-2 on the night, 4-2 on aggregate.

The squad are due back at 9:30, Brasília time, at Ninho do Urubu.

Attention now turns to the Carioca semi-finals. Flamengo host Madureira in the second leg on Monday at 21:00, again at the Maracanã.

Filipe Luís’s side hold a 3-0 lead from the first game, although defeat by three would take the tie to penalties.

The state championship is Flamengo’s last chance to lift a trophy in the first half of 2026, after runners-up finishes in the Supercopa do Brasil to Corinthians and the Recopa Sul-Americana to Lanús.
