Mexico x South Korea: Flamengo have faced both World Cup sides | OneFootball

South Korea visit Mexico in World Cup Group A

Mexico and South Korea face off this Thursday (18) in Group A of the World Cup, starting at 10 p.m. (Brasília time). The match therefore brings together two national teams that Flamengo have already faced in friendlies.

The most recent of those meetings took place in 1987, when Fla lost 3-1 to the Mexico national team in Los Angeles (USA). Aldair and Bebeto scored Flamengo’s goals under Antônio Lopes. Coluna do Fla took the records from the Flaestatísticas website.

What were Flamengo’s other results?

The 1987 match also featured red-and-black idols such as Leandro, Andrade and Nunes. At the end of that season, Fla won the Brazilian Championship by dominating the Green Module (1st division).

Where to watch Mexico vs South Korea?

Mengão’s old acquaintances face each other at Akron Stadium, Mexico’s home ground, in Group A. Therefore, the match will be broadcast on SporTV (pay TV), Globo (free-to-air TV) and Cazé TV (YouTube).

And when does Brazil play?

With four Flamengo players available, Brazil take the field against Haiti this Friday (19) in World Cup Group C. Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

Alex Sandro and Léo Pereira are the only red-and-black players who have not yet made their debut in this World Cup for the Seleção. That is because Danilo and Lucas Paquetá played in the 1-1 draw with Morocco.

And what is Flamengo doing?

While the World Cup is going on, part of the Flamengo squad return to training this Friday (19) for the second half of the season. The squad had been on vacation since May 31, one day after beating Coritiba 3-0 at the Maracanã in the 18th round of the Brasileirão.

In July, the Rubro-Negro side will hold a preseason camp with three friendlies in Portugal. River Plate (ARG), Lausanne-Sport (SUI) and Benfica (POR) will be Flamengo’s opponents.
