Flamengo hosts Atlético-GO for its debut in the Copa do Brasil

Teams face off at Maracanã after Mais Querido wins Rio title

By - in
The celebration of the Campeonato Carioca title is behind us and Flamengo begins a new journey in the season. On Wednesday night (10), at 19:30 pm, Rubro-Negro returns to the Maracanã pitch to face Atlético-GO in the Copa do Brasil debut.


After winning the state cup, the Mais Querido team had Monday off, returning to Ninho do Urubu the following day. With hard work and tactical training from Zé Ricardo, the red-and-black squad prepared for their Copa do Brasil debut and the difficult home challenge.


Retrospect
The teams have faced each other ten times in history, with Flamengo winning seven matches, drawing two, and losing once. In four matches played in Rio de Janeiro, only one was at Maracanã, the venue for the 1986 Copa do Brasil clash, when Flamengo emerged victorious 2-1.

This will be the clubs' first meeting in the Copa do Brasil. Their last meeting was in the 2012 Brazilian Championship, when Flamengo emerged victorious 2-1 at the Sera Dourada stadium in Goiás. The goals were scored by Cleber Santana, who made his debut that night, and Liedson.
