Only one game remains to determine the classification in the Rio Cup. And the final match will be this Sunday at 16 pm in Cariacica. Flamengo and Portuguesa will face off in a decisive duel for both teams. Coincidentally, both are in second place in their groups, Flamengo with nine points and Portuguesa with 10. Both teams only need a victory to secure a place in the semifinals. Cabofriense and Botafogo are hot on their heels.
Fan club members have the pride of playing alongside each victory: the money goes to football and brings more reinforcements, new talent, and infrastructure to the training center. And they also have advantages in official stores to buy the jersey and wear it with pride! Click and join now.
The match will be played in Caricacia. Due to rain damage, the Ilha do Urubu derby will not be held. However, the Kléber Andrade field is a longtime and familiar home for Mengão. It was there that the team defeated Boavista and won the Taça Guanabara in February.
With no matches in the CONMEBOL Libertadores, coach Paulo Cesar Carpegiani will field a full-strength squad. Attacking midfielder Everton hasn't been confirmed in his starting lineup, but he'll be one of the team's weapons to secure a victory. The player gave an interview after Friday's training session at Ninho do Urubu and discussed the challenges he expects in the match.
"It's a decision, especially because we need these three points to qualify. I think it will be a difficult game, because Portuguesa also has a chance of progressing," he analyzed, expressing his desire to play in the match. "I don't know which team will play yet, I just know that I really want to be on the field," added the number 22.
