Chororô explained: Flamengo extend dominance over Botafogo | OneFootball

Flamengo beat Botafogo 3–0 this Wednesday (15) to silence Botafogo fans’ taunts

The stadium may belong to Botafogo, but the one in control is Flamengo. That’s because the derby has been played 26 times at Estádio Nilton Santos, and the visitors have more wins. The latest rubro-negro triumph came this Wednesday (15).

This victory in the 28th round of the 2025 Brasileirão was Flamengo’s 13th over Botafogo at Nilton Santos. The home ‘owners’, however, have won only four matches at Engenhão. There have been nine draws.

Did Botafogo provoke?

Before the match, a Botafogo supporters’ mosaic alluded to the 4–1 scoreline over Flamengo in 2024. The disrespect, however, did not go unpunished. Filipe Luís’s men answered on the pitch and won 3–0.

The Flamengo fans, however, responded in kind. The members of the Nação Rubro-Negra at Engenhão sang at the top of their lungs: “And nobody silences this whining. The president cries. The whole team cries. The supporter cries.”

What is Flamengo’s next match?

After thrashing Botafogo, Flamengo return to the Maracanã to host Palmeiras. The visitors have 61 points, three more than the hosts, which sets up a direct battle for the Brasileirão title.

The match, valid for the 29th round of the Brasileirão, takes place this Sunday (19) from 4 p.m. (Brasília time). O Mais Querido will be on the pitch, so there will be full coverage from Coluna do Fla.
