The Maracanã will be the judge of a thrilling final this Thursday (21:30) between Flamengo and Lanús. The “Granate” arrives with a slight advantage after the 1-0 win in the first leg, a goal by Rodrigo Castillo, and only needs a draw to make history and lift their first Recopa. Mauricio Pellegrino’s team will rely on defensive organization and Salvio’s speed on the counterattack.
On the other side, Filipe Luís’s Flamengo is experiencing a climate of maximum tension. After losing the Brazilian Supercup, the “Mengão” is forced to win by two goals to avoid penalties and overturn a negative comeback streak that has persisted since 2022. Despite the absences of Saúl Ñíguez and Jorginho, the coach shook things up and left stars like Lucas Paquetá and Alex Sandro on the bench, seeking a more aggressive team to break the Argentine lock.
