Has Flamengo already won the South American Recopa?

Yes! In the 2026 season, Flamengo is aiming for their second Recopa title. After winning the Libertadores in 2019, Flamengo defeated Independiente del Valle (EQU) in 2020, with a 5-2 aggregate score, taking home the competition trophy.

How are Flamengo and Lanús arriving for the match?

Flamengo arrives in high spirits for the first leg of the South American Recopa. This is because, after a 'turbulent' start to the season, Filipe Luís' team secured three consecutive victories. Last Sunday (15), Mengão qualified for the semifinals of the Carioca, after defeating Botafogo 2-1.

On the other hand, Lanús is in a complicated situation in the 2025 season. After all, the Argentine team hasn't won in three matches, with two draws and one loss. Last Friday (13), Flamengo's opponent was defeated 2-0 by Independiente (ARG), in the Argentine Championship.
