With the 2-0 victory against Emelec, on Wednesday afternoon (16), Flamengo reached the excellent number of eleven games without losing playing in Rio de Janeiro in Conmebol competitions. Adding the Libertadores matches of 2017 and 2018, in addition to last year's campaign in the Sudamericana, Mais Querido has seven wins and four draws.

In both competitions, Flamengo proved to be powerful in attack and strong in defense. In those eleven matches, played at the Maracanã, Nilton Santos, and Ilha do Urubu stadiums, they scored 29 goals and conceded 10. In the Copa Sudamericana, there were five games: Palestino (5-0), Chapecoense (4-0), Fluminense (3-3), Junior Barranquilla (2-1), and Independiente (1-1).

In the Conmebol Libertadores, the 2017 campaign included three wins against San Lorenzo (4-0), Atlético Paranaense (2-1), and Universidad Católica (3-1), while this year's campaign consists of two draws against River Plate (2-2) and Santa Fe (1-1), and one win against Emelec (2-0).

The results show Flamengo's strength playing at home, especially when the Rubro-Negra Nation is present to support them for the full 90 minutes. In the continental tournament, the beloved team, which advanced to the round of 16 and will meet its fans again, has one last challenge against River Plate next Wednesday at 9:45 PM in Argentina.
