Flamengo v Santos settles tie between Gabigol and Rubro-Negro | OneFootball

Gabigol faces Flamengo for the third time after controversial departure

This Sunday’s (05) clash between Flamengo and Santos will mark yet another reunion between Gabigol and the Most Beloved. As such, there is a chance for a tiebreaker between the idol and the Rio club. The match takes place at the Maracanã in the tenth round of the Brasileirão.

In history, Gabriel Barbosa has faced Fla nine times. Each side has two wins, and Mengão will take the field looking to gain the edge in the head-to-head. However, there is also a chance of a sixth draw in this matchup.

What are the matches between Gabigol and Flamengo?

The “former player rule” only came into play in the Cruzeiro win mentioned above. On that occasion, the striker took a penalty that was saved by Rossi. However, the rebound allowed Gabriel to score, and he chose not to celebrate against the Most Beloved.

When did Gabigol leave Flamengo?

After an extremely successful spell at Fla, the red-and-black idol was unable to secure the contract renewal he was hoping for. So, at the end of 2024, the player accepted Cruzeiro’s offer for 2025, but was soon loaned to Santos.

What time is Flamengo vs Santos?

With Gabigol in the squad, the match between Flamengo and Santos is scheduled for this Sunday (05). The ball starts rolling at 5:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at the Maracanã, in the tenth round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Santos through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the meeting.
