Flamengo has two wins in two games since the inauguration of Arena MRV in Belo Horizonte


The Flamengo faces Atlético-MG this Wednesday (06), at 7 pm (Brasília time), in a decisive match for the round of 16 of the Brazil Cup. After losing 1-0 at Maracanã, they need to win by two or more goals difference to advance directly. The match will be at Arena MRV, where the Rubro-Negro maintains a 100% success rate. The favorable record at the stadium boosts confidence in a turnaround and a spot in the quarterfinals.

Arena MRV was officially inaugurated on August 27, 2023, and since then, the Flamengo has played twice at the stadium against Atlético-MG, winning both times. First, in July 2024, the Rubro-Negro won 4-2, in a match for the Brasileirão.

In the first leg of the round of 16 of the Brazil Cup, last Thursday (31), Flamengo stumbled by losing 1-0 to Atlético-MG, at Maracanã, with a goal scored by Cuello. Now, to advance to the quarterfinals, the red-black team needs to win away by two or more goals difference. This is because, if they return the score with a simple victory, the tie on aggregate will take the decision to penalties.
