Flamengo equals six-game winning streak from 1978 and 1982

If they beat Coritiba this Thursday, Rubro-Negro will reach a record in their history in the Brasileirão

By - in
Flamengo reached the G-4 of the Brazilian Championship in the 24th round, after the victory over Cruzeiro, but this was just one positive result in an unbeaten streak of six wins in the tournament. In the matches, they scored 14 goals and conceded only three—two from penalties—which highlights the team's offensive strength and the evolution of the defensive sector. On the wing, Oswaldo de Oliveira's accuracy is 100%. since taking over the team, in the first game of the second half, against São Paulo, which also qualifies Rubro-Negro as the best team in the championship during this period.

With a perfect second round, after the 3-1 victory over Chapecoense Last Sunday (13.09), Flamengo in 2015 equaled the record for consecutive victories set by the 1978 and 1982 teams, the years in which the club's golden generation played their football on the pitch. If, in the points-based era of the national championship, the Mais Querido already holds the absolute record, if they win again in the next round, the record will be the highest in the history of the Rubro-Negro in the Brasileirão.
