Next Sunday, at 4pm, at Couto Pereira Stadium, Coritiba and Flamengo will face each other again. The meeting marks the beginning of the second round of the Brasileirão. After a few days, many transformations occurred in the teams: new players joined, others left and new coaches took over the leadership of the squads.
In the first round, Flamengo won and overcame Coritiba by 3-0, with goals from Ayrton Lucas, Gabigol and Pedro. Now, 18 points separate the teams, who seek to take a step further in their goals.
In the case of Flamengo, this was the only official match in the Brasileirão in which Jorge Sampaoli did not act as coach . Although the Argentine had already been announced as coach, he could not be regularized in time for the game. Thus, Mário Jorge took charge directly from the pitch, while Sampaoli followed the game from the box at Maracanã.
During these four months, there were some changes in Flamengo's squad. Vidal, Marinho and Matheus França left the team and are now defending the colors of Athletico-PR, Fortaleza and Crystal Palace, respectively. On the other hand, Rossi, Luiz Araújo and Allan arrived in the squad. The last two have been active pieces in the coach's strategies.

On Thursday night (19), Flamengo hosted Peñarol at Maracanã for the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores da América and came out with an unfavorable result. In front of more than 64 thousand fans, the team led by Tite had several opportunities, but failed to score.
The Uruguayan team took advantage of one of the few chances and, with a goal from Cabrera, secured a 1-0 victory. Now, Mengão will need to reverse the deficit in the second leg, scheduled for next Thursday- fair (26), in Montevideo.
This Thursday's defeat puts the Rio team in a delicate situation. To guarantee qualification to the semi-finals, Mais Querido will need to win by two goals at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium. A simple victory will take the decision to penalties, while any other score guarantees Peñarol's place. The result was even more painful for the club, as Flamengo has not lost at Maracanã in Libertadores competitions since 2019, also to Peñarol.
The return game is full of expectations, mainly due to the historic rivalry between the two teams in the South American competition. The winner of this duel will face, in the semifinals, the winner of the clash between Botafogo and São Paulo. On the other side of the bracket, there are River Plate (Argentina), Colo-Colo (Chile), Fluminense and Atlético-MG, which makes the path to the final even more competitive.
FLAMENGO AND PEÑAROL RETURN TO THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
Before the decisive match for the Libertadores, both teams have commitments for their national leagues. CRF travels to Porto Alegre to face Grêmio, next Sunday (22), at 6:30 pm, for the Brazilian Championship. Peñarol faces Cerro, also on Sunday, at 7pm, away from home, in the Clausura of the Uruguayan Championship.

Soon after, Flamengo responded with Plata's header hitting the post. But the red and black team had difficulty creating chances. In the final stretch of the first half, Flamengo grew and had great opportunities to draw. Bruno Henrique, alone, headed over goalkeeper Aguerre, who also made a great save from Arrascaeta's shot.
