In addition to qualifying for the semifinals of the Carioca, Flamengo’s victory over Botafogo on Sunday (15) made the team stand out even more in terms of goal-scoring records. That’s because the Rubro-Negro is the Série A team with the most goals in derbies this century so far.
With the 2-1 scoreline, the Most Beloved reached 403 goals in the ranking. That’s 58 more goals than Chapecoense, who are in second place with 345 goals in derbies so far this century.
The 402nd and 403rd goals for the Rubro-Negro were scored, respectively, by Lucas Paquetá and Erick Pulgar. Thus, Fla advanced to the next stage of the Carioca even after Barboza found the net for Botafogo.
Therefore, the Most Beloved’s opponent in the semifinal of the Campeonato Carioca is Madureira. That’s because the suburban Rio de Janeiro team defeated Boavista 2-1 on the other side of the bracket.
Before the state championship, however, Flamengo will play the first match of the Recopa Sudamericana this Thursday (19). The Rubro-Negro will visit Lanús (ARG) at the Néstor Díaz Pérez Stadium, starting at 9:30 p.m. (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.
