Flamengo's Rival in the Campeonato Carioca Semifinal, Madureira Played Against ABC This Wednesday (25)

Flamengo faces Madureira on Monday (02) in the return match of the Campeonato Carioca semifinal. In their last commitment before facing Mengão, the Suburban Tricolor defeated ABC de Natal 1-0 in the second phase of the Copa do Brasil. The match took place at Estádio Aniceto Moscoso, on Rua Conselheiro Galvão, in Rio de Janeiro.

Unlike last week, when they spared almost all starters against Baré in Roraima, this time Madureira fielded their full strength. Firstly, because the situation in the Campeonato Carioca against Flamengo is practically irreversible. Secondly, the second phase clash of the Copa do Brasil earned R$ 950,000 for the winner.

HOW WAS THE GAME?

The match was technically weak and was heading for a goalless draw. However, coach Toninho Andrade brought on Wallace Reis at the 20th minute of the second half. Practically on his first touch, the forward opened the scoring and delighted the Madureira fans at the 22nd minute. Now, the suburban Rio team awaits Águia de Marabá-PA or Independência-AC, who face off this Wednesday (25), in the next phase.

WHAT IS THE SITUATION IN THE CAMPEONATO CARIOCA?

Flamengo and Madureira meet again next Monday (02). In the first leg, the Most Beloved won 3-0, with goals from De La Cruz, Arrascaeta, and Luiz Araújo. Thus, the current two-time Carioca champion can even lose by two goals and still advance to the final.

Therefore, the ball rolls at 9 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, with full coverage by Coluna do Fla, which will be at the Sacred Temple of football. The winner will face Fluminense or Vasco, who meet on Sunday (01). The Laranjeiras team won the first leg 1-0.
