Flamengo’s drought against Ceará at Castelão goes on | OneFootball

Last Flamengo win against Ceará at Castelão in 2019

Last Sunday (03) marked another chapter in the sequence of Flamengo not beating Ceará at Arena Castelão. This is because the 1-1 draw in the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship extended to four games the Ceará's unbeaten run against Rubro-Negro at the stadium, with three draws and one defeat.

The Most Beloved last won at the Ceará stadium against Alvinegro in the 2019 Brazilian Championship, when the team led by Jorge Jesus thrashed 3-0. The game had a bicycle kick goal from Arrascaeta that was elected the most beautiful of that edition of the championship.

What were the results since then?

2025 – Ceará 1 a 1 Flamengo; 2022 – Ceará 2 a 2 Flamengo; 2021 – Ceará 1 a 1 Flamengo; 2020 – Ceará 2 a 0 Flamengo.

Remember that Ceará spent the 2023 and 2024 seasons in the second division of the Brazilian Championship. In the period, Flamengo only visited Castelão to face Fortaleza. This is because both rival teams share the northeastern stadium.

How was this year's game at Castelão?

With an uninspired performance from Filipe Luís' team, Arrascaeta opened the scoring for Rubro-Negro, but Pedro Raúl tied the game. With the result, Flamengo remains in first place, with 37 points, the same as second-placed Cruzeiro. However, Mengão has an advantage in goal difference (24 to 19).

When will Flamengo's next game be?

Flamengo will end the first round of the Brazilian Championship next Saturday (09), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), against Mirassol, at Maracanã. Before that, however, The Most Beloved will try to turn the tables against Atlético-MG, in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. Thus, the ball will roll at 7 pm (Brasília time), on Wednesday (06), at Arena MRV.
