The Flamengo squad reports on the morning of this Friday (13th), at CT Ninho do Urubu, focusing on the match against Botafogo. This will be the players’ second training session with their eyes on the match against their rival.
After the 2-1 victory over Vitória, the Flamengo squad was given a day off on Wednesday (11th). Therefore, the players returned on Thursday (12th), at 3:30 pm (Brasília time), at CT Ninho do Urubu.
Therefore, Flamengo will have three training days before the match against Botafogo, for the quarterfinals of the Carioca. Their rival, on the other hand, will have only two training sessions, since they played on Thursday (12th) against Fluminense, for the Brasileirão.
Yes! The quarterfinals will be decided in a single-leg match and there will be no advantage. Therefore, in case of a draw, qualification will be decided by penalty shootout. The match will take place at Engenhão, since Botafogo had a better campaign than Flamengo in the first stage.
The match between Flamengo and Botafogo is scheduled for Sunday (15th), at 5:30 pm (Brasília time), for the quarterfinals of the Carioca. The match will be broadcast on Rede Globo, on free-to-air TV, and on Premiere, via pay-per-view.
