Galvão Bueno slams Flamengo after defeat to Lanús in the Recopa | OneFootball

Flamengo Lost Again to Lanús (ARG) and Ended Up as Recopa Runner-Up

The Flamengo was defeated by Lanús (ARG) last Thursday (26) by 3-2 and ended up as the runner-up of the Recopa Sudamericana. After the match, Galvão Bueno, a commentator and Flamengo fan, criticized the performance of the team and highlighted details that led to the defeat.

“A sad defeat for Flamengo at Maracanã: 3-2 to Lanús and 4-2 on aggregate. Once again, the team had more ball possession and attacked more, but goals, none, only from penalties”, started Galvão Bueno, in a post published on X, formerly Twitter.

“The defense keeps giving away goals: gifted one with Ayrton Lucas and Rossi, conceded another header from a corner kick, and the last one was the final blow. This Flamengo of 2026 is a major disappointment; the whole team is performing poorly. Lanús is the Recopa champion with all the merits. It was a true Maracanazo”, he concluded.

WHAT'S THE CONTEXT?

The Flamengo fell behind on the scoreboard due to a defensive error. Ayrton Lucas passed the ball back, but Agustín Rossi couldn't reach it. Thus, Rodrigo Castillo scored from midfield, putting the Argentinians ahead.

However, Flamengo showed signs of a comeback and turned the game to 2-1, with goals from Arrascaeta and Jorginho, both from penalties. However, in overtime, Lanús turned the match around due to Flamengo's mistakes and claimed the Recopa Sudamericana title.

WHAT'S NEXT, FLAMENGO?

Now, Flamengo puts the Recopa Sudamericana aside and refocuses on the Campeonato Carioca. This is because the team faces Madureira next Monday (02), at 9 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the second semifinal of the tournament.
