Flamengo is enjoying a few free days in the season, while the teams compete in the Copa do Brasil round of 16. This Saturday (01), three matches kicked off the new stage of the national competition, including a triple 0-0.
The first match this Saturday (01) took place at the Maracanã. At the ‘Sacred Temple,’ Fluminense and Vasco played out a 0-0 draw in a match marked by too many mistakes and a lack of creativity from both teams.
At Arena MRV, Atlético-MG and Juventude also drew without goals. While the team from Rio Grande do Sul hit the crossbar in the first half, the Minas Gerais side struck the post in the second half, but neither club managed to find the net.
Finally, at Vila Belmiro, Santos and Remo also drew 0-0. Gabigol even opened the scoring for the São Paulo side in the 12th minute of the second half, but the goal was disallowed after VAR ruled that the ball had gone out during Neymar’s cross. As a result, all three ties will be decided in the second leg.
This Sunday (02), four more matches will take place in the Copa do Brasil round of 16. They are: Palmeiras x Fortaleza, Mirassol x Grêmio, Chapecoense x Cruzeiro, and Internacional x Corinthians. Finally, Athletico-PR and Vitória face each other on Monday (03).
As in recent years, Flamengo entered the Copa do Brasil in the fifth round to face Vitória. However, the Rubro-Negro bowed out of the tournament in its opening stage. After a 2-1 win in the first leg at the Maracanã, Leonardo Jardim’s team lost 2-0 at Barradão.
At the moment, Flamengo is enjoying a few ‘free’ days amid the Copa do Brasil schedule. Mengão’s next match will be on August 09, against Vitória. The match will take place at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla brings you all the details about Flamengo’s 2026 season. So stay tuned to the website, social media, and YouTube. In addition, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match against Vitória.
