Flamengo took to the field this afternoon Sunday for the Brazilian Championship. With a well-depleted team and Tite (suspended) outside the technical area, the red and black team ended up in a 1-1 draw with Athletico-Pr, at Arena da Baixada, in Curitiba. The draw kept Fla in first place, but their direct rivals for the top are still playing this Sunday.
Summary
Very busy game so far, but also truncated and with few clear chances. The first to take the risk was Flamengo, with Lorran hitting from outside for Léo Linck's defense, at 14. Athletico arrived with three shots from Nikão. At 19 and 27 they were in the hands of Rossi. At 28, with more danger, the ball went out. Fla threatened again with a bomb from Gerson, at 42, from above. In the rest, bad passes on both sides and the defensive systems got the better of them.
In the second half, the situation didn't change much. However, Fla reached the goal that would open the scoring for the visitors. David Luiz receives the ball in the area on the left, passes it to the middle, and Luiz Araújo deflects it. The ball ends up at the feet of Gabigol, who sends it into the empty goal, celebrates, but the referee calls it offside. Matheus Bach tried to change the team, but it had little effect in a game, which despite having had chances, was very warm.
However, when the lights went out, the one who scored and gave final numbers to the game was the Athletico. After consulting the VAR, Daronco points out a touch on David Luiz's arm in the area following a shot by Julimar. Penalty scored and converted by Fernandinho.
Fla came out on top to equalize and managed to do so. Evertton Araújo goal! Luiz Araújo takes a corner, sends it into the middle of the area, and Evertton Araújo heads it straight towards the goal. Flamengo equalizes in the last minute!
What now?
With the draw, Flamengo reaches 18 points and remains at the top of the competition for now, as Bahia and Botafogo still play in the round. Now, Tite's team needs to think about their next opponent in the national championship.
In short, the red and black team faces Bahia, in a direct confrontation for leadership, next Thursday, at Maracanã. The duel is scheduled for 8pm.
The former Mengão striker is attracting interest from the São Paulo team, but contractual issues and high salary figures could make negotiations for 2026 difficult.

Gabigol's name has been linked to Corinthians again . The striker, who has previously been involved in controversy at Flamengo due to images in the black and white jersey, now appears as a possible reinforcement for the São Paulo club in 2026.
At Cruzeiro, Gabigol is facing a turbulent time . With Kaio Jorge in excellent form and a starter in the Raposa attack, the striker has lost his place in Leonardo Jardim's team, which has generated dissatisfaction on the player's part.
According to journalist Jorge Nicola, Corinthians is interested in signing Gabigol, but to make the deal happen, they would need to release Memphis Depay . The Dutch striker earns around R$6 million per month, while Gabigol's salary is over R$2 million.
Another critical point is Gabigol's contract with Cruzeiro, valid until 2028. For the player to be able to transfer, Corinthians would need to negotiate financial compensation with Raposa, in addition to adjusting its payroll.
Gabigol arrived at Cruzeiro on a free transfer after ending his stint with Flamengo. He has a four-year contract with the Minas Gerais club and has so far played 35 matches, scored 12 goals, and provided four assists.

With Betano leading the Brasileirão and a place in the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals assured, Flamengo is reaping the rewards of a structured plan put together by its board. The synergy between management and the coaching staff has been crucial in maintaining a strong squad and achieving consistent performances on the field.
Given the team's strong performance, the club's board is focused on ensuring the continuity of coach Filipe Luís. The coach has been receiving inquiries from the international market, but so far, he maintains his preference for remaining with the Rio de Janeiro club.
In addition to planning Filipe Luís's contract renewal, Flamengo's management is intensifying its case-by-case evaluation of the squad's players. Among them is striker Pedro, the team's number 9, who has been returning to form after a period of instability.
Embroiled in recent controversies at Gávea, Pedro has yet to decide his future at the club. According to information from the Bolavip website, the athlete has not ruled out considering offers from other teams in the next transfer window. Currently, the player's priority is to find the best option for his career and financially, without limiting his available options.
Flamengo 's board intends to renew contracts with Filipe Luís and Arrascaeta in 2025. Pedro and Rossi are expected to have their contracts renewed next season. Currently, there is no sign of dissatisfaction with the Mengão striker.
Mengão defender has been the target of international 'harassment' and could now receive an offer from an England team in January

Flamengo takes the field this Thursday (18) for the most important game of the season so far: the clash against Estudiantes, in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores da América, at Maracanã. Despite the maximum concentration on the knockout stage, the club still has to deal with movements in the transfer market. Defender Léo Ortiz has once again been the target of speculation and may receive a new offer from European football.
According to information from the 'bolavip' portal, Nottingham Forest (ENG) is expected to formalize a proposal in the next transfer window . The defender is already attracting interest from several clubs, and the club's board understands that it will be difficult to hold on to him for long. The English club is controlled by billionaire Evangelos Marinakis, which increases its investment power.
In addition to Nottingham, clubs such as Napoli, Juventus, and Roma have already made informal inquiries . So far, the only concrete offer has come from RB Leipzig, but talks have not progressed. Flamengo 's board maintains its position of not negotiating the player.
On the field, Léo Ortiz is confirmed among the starters this Thursday. The defender returns after serving an automatic suspension in the Brasileirão and will be a key player against Estudiantes , at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
Besides him, Varela and Bruno Henrique are also available for Filipe Luís again after being rested against Juventude. Alex Sandro and Jorginho remain doubtful and will have their fitness reassessed shortly before the match.
