Flamengo beat Botafogo-PB 1-0 on Thursday night (01), at Castelão , in São Luís , and opened up an advantage in the third phase of the Copa do Brasil . Off the field, however, Rubro-Negro faced a series of setbacks until the initial whistle. After the match, defender Danilo mocked the scenario experienced by the squad behind the scenes of the duel.
Brazilian Juice! Long live football!"
“Arrival at 2am, airport looking like carnival, pitch with very high grass and extremely heavy, Mengão fans celebrating , goal crying , Brazilian juice ! Long live football ”, wrote the defender on social media. Danilo formed the starting defense alongside João Victor , both formed in the club's youth system.
Despite the logistical difficulties, Flamengo fans made their presence felt . When the delegation arrived, in the early hours of the morning, hundreds of fans welcomed the team at the hotel in a festive atmosphere. At the stadium, the atmosphere was repeated: more than 35 thousand people were present, cheering the team on throughout the 90 minutes.
On the field, Flamengo had ample control of the match, with 24 shots throughout the game. However, once again, aim was a problem . The winning goal came only in the 39th minute of the second half , with young Joshua taking advantage of a rebound after a header from Juninho.
With the result, Rubro-Negro will play for a draw in the return match, scheduled for May 21 , at Maracanã.
After winning the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo is back to focusing on the Campeonato Brasileiro . This Sunday (04), the team will face Cruzeiro at 6:30 pm (Brasília time) at Mineirão, in the 7th round. Leader of the tournament with 14 points, Filipe Luís' team is trying to maintain its lead against a rival on a roll and with Gabigol among the starters.

Flamengo called a meeting of the Deliberative Council for next Tuesday (19) which will have as its agenda the approval of the new master sponsor of professional football. The decision comes shortly after the termination of the contract with Pixbet , which ended this Thursday (14).
The battle for the most prestigious spot at the Sacred Mantle is between two sports betting giants: Superbet and Betano . The former already has its brand on the uniforms of São Paulo and Fluminense; the latter is a sponsor of the Copa do Brasil and the Campeonato Brasileiro , reinforcing its market share.
According to Poder360, the Flamengo board is seeking not only the highest financial value but also a solid partner with a positive image who prioritizes Flamengo in its marketing and expansion plans. The goal is to establish a strategic, stable, and long-term partnership. 7k Bet expressed interest but withdrew from the competition.
The previous contract with Pixbet provided for R$105 million in the first year, R$115 million in the second, and R$125 million in the third, plus bonuses. Superbet's proposal, according to the publication, exceeds R$200 million annually—a figure that, if confirmed , would set a new record in Brazilian soccer.
The amount offered by Betano has not yet been revealed. The final decision will be made by the board members next week and will determine which brand will occupy the most valuable jersey in South America in the coming days. Therefore, next Sunday (17), Flamengo should have the space empty for the game against Internacional.

Atlético-MG were drawing 1-1 with Godoy Cruz (ARG) this Thursday (14), when coach Cuca promoted Reinier's debut . The former Flamengo player entered the field and, in his first decisive participation, provided the assist for Atlético's comeback goal in the round of 16 of the South American, at Arena MRV.
The move stemmed from a quick counterattack, catching the Argentine defense off guard. The ball quickly reached Reinier , who, with a chest-touch worthy of a footvolley, set up Hulk for a first-time finish to make it 2-1.
A standout in the red-black youth academy, Reinier made his professional debut in 2019 , joining the historic squad led by Jorge Jesus. After good performances, he was sold to Real Madrid (ESP) in 2020, for around R$30 million (value at the time).
Without opportunities in the Spanish club's professional ranks, the midfielder spent time on loan at Borussia Dortmund (GER), Girona (ESP), Frosinone (ITA) and Granada (ESP) . Earlier this month, Atlético-MG confirmed his signing for the remainder of the season.
Flamengo considered Reinier's return, but the player's staff considered the fees he was asking for too high . Therefore, the club focused its efforts on signing Colombian Jorge Carrascal, then at Dynamo Moscow (RUS).

Wednesday (13) was a triumph for Flamengo in the Libertadores . In the first leg of the round of 16, Bruno Henrique shone and scored the winning goal in a 1-0 victory over Internacional, at Maracanã. The performance earned the number 27 the title of 'Fans' Star' , in a vote held on the club's social networks.
With 54.3% of the votes, Bruno Henrique topped the poll . In second place, Jorginho — a standout midfielder — received 37.4%. Luiz Araújo (5.5%) and Everton Cebolinha (2.9%) completed the list of most voted.
Bruno Henrique, a starter in the match, was decisive. In 83 minutes on the field, he scored the only goal of the match with a precise header after a corner kick from Luiz Araújo . In addition to the goal, he completed 6 of 10 passes (60% accuracy) and completed three dribbles, confirming his position as one of the team's key attacking players.
With his goal against Internacional, the number 27 reaffirmed his reputation as a decisive player and is now among the club's greatest idols. Journalist Thiago Asmar, known as Pilhado, stated that Bruno Henrique has already surpassed Gabigol as Flamengo's all-time great .
Thiago Asmar: "Bruno Henrique has already surpassed Gabigol in idolatry at Flamengo"
"In my opinion, Bruno Henrique has already surpassed Gabigol in idolatry at Flamengo. Gabigol left controversially, while Bruno Henrique stayed and continues to be decisive. He was instrumental in the Brazilian Super Cup title and, once again, this time in the Libertadores. He's a guy who, when the game is big, has to get the ball to him," he stated.
Flamengo will face Internacional again on Sunday (17), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Beira-Rio , for the 20th round of the Brasileirão. The duel marks the beginning of the second half and will serve as preparation for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores, the following week.
