Flamengo's basketball team won another game in the Liga das Américas. Despite being down at the end of the first two quarters, José Neto's team reversed the score and the Pride of the Nation beat the Colombian team Águilas de Tunja 75-60.

The key factor in Flamengo's victory was their strong defense starting in the third quarter. By overwhelming their opponent, Flamengo took the lead and extended their advantage in the final quarter of the game.

Marquinhos, once again, was the team's top scorer with 21 points. This Sunday, Mengão concludes its participation in the first phase of the competition facing Correcaminos (PAN). The match takes place at 21:15 PM and will be broadcast on Sportv 3 and Flamengo's official Twitter account.

The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo adult basketball team relies on direct funding from its sponsors – SKY and Estácio – in addition to investments from Tim via the State Sports Incentive Law/State Secretariat for Sports, Leisure and Youth (ICMS).
