Runaway leaders in the Brasileirão: Flamengo still draw the biggest crowds | OneFootball

Flamengo has an average attendance of 58,466, almost 20,000 more than Corinthians

Despite the 1-1 draw last Sunday (31), the Red-Black Nation made a strong presence at Maracanã and made history once again. This is because there were 64.4 thousand paying spectators at the match between Flamengo and Grêmio, for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. The team, in fact, holds the highest average attendance of the tournament so far.

In the 22 rounds, Flamengo reached an average of 58,466 fans, 17,562 more than the second place, Corinthians. However, it is worth remembering that the Most Beloved has one less game, as the match against Sport was postponed and still has no set date.

What is the average attendance?

New record?

With the match against Grêmio, Flamengo broke its own attendance record in Brazilian football. The previous mark, however, was in the 0-0 draw in the Fla-Flu, for the second match of the final of the Carioca, with 64.3 thousand paying spectators, also at Maracanã.

How is the fight for the Brasileirão title?

Even with the draw against Grêmio, Flamengo remains in the isolated lead of the Brazilian Championship, with 47 points. This is because Filipe Luís's team has 14 victories, five draws, and two defeats. Right behind, in second place, is Cruzeiro, with 44 points, and one more game than the Most Beloved.

What is Flamengo's next match?

After the FIFA date, Flamengo returns to the field for the Brasileirão only on September 14. Thus, the team led by Filipe Luís will face Juventude, at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi, for the 23rd round of the tournament. Then, the Coluna do Fla will provide complete coverage of the match, through YouTube, the website, and social networks.
