Therefore, the expectation is that the CBF will announce the full refereeing lineup in the coming days. Although the competition has not been defined as a priority for the season, the Most Beloved aims to lift the Copa do Brasil trophy once again.

HOW MANY FLAMENGO MATCHES HAS THE REFEREE OFFICIATED IN 2025?

It is worth noting that, so far, Rafael Klein has officiated one Flamengo match in the 2025 season. On that occasion, the referee was responsible for the Mengão clash with Vitória at the beginning of April, which ended with a 2-1 victory for the red-black team. In the Copa do Brasil, he was responsible for the 0-0 draw between CSA and Vasco last Thursday (31).

HOW WAS THE FIRST LEG BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND ATLÉTICO-MG?

Despite controlling much of the game, Flamengo could not overcome Atlético-MG last Thursday (31). In summary, at 20 minutes into the second half, the Minas Gerais team pressured Léo Pereira's ball exit. The defender attempted a pass to Léo Ortiz, but the ball was short, and Cuello stole it to score the winning goal for the rival red-black team.

WHEN DO FLAMENGO AND ATLÉTICO-MG FACE EACH OTHER?

In search of advancing to the quarterfinals, Flamengo meets Atlético-MG again this Wednesday (06) for the second leg. The classic takes place at 7 PM (Brasília time), at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte. As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best coverage on the internet through YouTube, the website, and social media.
