Flamengo delegation arrives in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday morning (21)

It was obvious! Last Wednesday (20), Flamengo beat Internacional again at Beira-Rio, but this time 2-0. With the victory, the Rubro-Negro guaranteed a spot in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. After qualifying, the Flamengo squad did not receive a break and has a scheduled training session at Ninho do Urubu.

In summary, according to details of the schedule released by Flamengo itself, the Rubro-Negro delegation has a flight from Porto Alegre to Rio de Janeiro at 11:45 am (Brasília time) on Thursday (21). Afterwards, from 3:30 pm (Brasília time), the squad will train at Ninho do Urubu.

It is important to note that, despite this, the Flamengo squad has a scheduled break for this Friday (22). Until the next Brasileirão game, the Rubro-Negro team will have a total of three activities at Ninho do Urubu: Thursday (21), Saturday (23), and Sunday (24).

How was the victory in the Libertadores?

In summary, Flamengo opened the scoring in the return game in the 26th minute of the first half. In the play, Samuel Lino pulled to the middle and shot. Rochet failed and released to Plata. The Ecuadorian headed to Arrascaeta, who, with his first touch, scored the goal.

The second and final goal for Flamengo in the game came in the 43rd minute of the second half. Filipe Luís activated Pedro, who entered the game near the end. However, a natural-born goalscorer, the number 9 needed little time to score and make it 2-0 for the Mais Querido, who qualified with ease after making it 3-0 on aggregate.

And now?

Now, in the next phase of the Libertadores, i.e., the quarterfinals, Flamengo will face Estudiantes de La Plata (ARG). This is because the Argentine team eliminated Cerro Porteño (PAR) in the round of 16. It is important to highlight that the first leg is scheduled to take place between September 16 and 18. On the other hand, the return leg is expected to occur between September 23 and 25.

What's Flamengo's next game?

Before focusing again on the Libertadores, Flamengo turns its attention to the Brasileirão. This is because, next Monday (25), the Mais Querido faces Vitória at the Maracanã, in a game valid for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. The teams face off at 9 pm (Brasília time).
