The Nilton Santos Stadium is Botafogo's home, but the one in charge is Flamengo. That's because Sunday's (15) victory allowed the Rubro-Negro to increase the number of wins to 12 over the rival at Engenhão.
The first Rivalry Classic at Nilton Santos took place in October 2009, a match won by Fla. Since then, the teams have faced each other 21 times, but the hosts have only beaten Mengão three times.
Botafogo 1×2 Flamengo – Carioca 2026 Botafogo 0x3 Fla – Brasileirão 2026 Botafogo 4×1 Fla – Brasileirão 2024 Botafogo 1×2 Fla – Brasileirão 2023 Botafogo 0x1 Fla – Brasileirão 2022 Botafogo 1×3 Fla – Carioca 2022 Botafogo 0x2 Fla – Carioca 2021 Botafogo 0x1 Fla – Brasileirão 2020 Botafogo 0x1 Fla – Brasileirão 2019 Botafogo 1×2 Fla – Carioca 2019 Botafogo 2×1 Fla – Brasileirão 2018 Botafogo 2×0 Fla – Brasileirão 2017 Botafogo 0x0 Fla – Copa do Brasil 2017 Botafogo 1×2 Fla – Carioca 2017 Botafogo 0x0 Fla – Brasileirão 2012 Botafogo 0x0 Fla – Carioca 2012 Botafogo 1×1 Fla – Brasileirão 2011 Botafogo 0x2 Fla – Carioca 2011 Botafogo 1×1 Fla – Brasileirão 2010 Botafogo 2×2 Fla – Carioca 2010 Botafogo 0x1 Fla – Brasileirão 2009
Therefore, the visiting Rubro-Negro eliminated Botafogo from the Campeonato Carioca of 2026. This happened because Fla won 2 to 1 with goals from Paquetá and Pulgar, while the home team scored with Barboza, at Nilton Santos.
Once again away from home, Flamengo will play the first match of the Recopa Sudamericana. Moreover, this Thursday (19), Filipe Luís's team will visit Lanús (ARG) at the Néstor Díaz Pérez stadium, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).
Then, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Lanús through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, ESPN (cable channel) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Recopa match.
