Flamengo said goodbye to the Women's Copa do Brasil this Wednesday (17), after a 1-0 defeat to São Paulo, in the quarterfinals of the tournament. After the final whistle, striker Cristiane spoke out and made harsh criticisms of the refereeing.
Flamengo's Cristiane, after elimination from the Copa do Brasil: "It was biased refereeing"
"Everyone saw today's match , no need to even talk about it. The refereeing was biased, and it also went wrong in São Paulo's favor. But when the refereeing ends up deciding the match, it gets complicated . I don't know the choices made for a game as big as this, Flamengo vs. São Paulo," the player declared.
She continued: " Unfortunately, today had a big impact on us . We've made significant progress compared to the beginning of the year, that's clear. But when the refereeing has a direct impact, it gets difficult," Cristiane concluded.
The first half of the derby was evenly matched. São Paulo started better, but after 20 minutes, Flamengo began to control possession. Even so, neither team managed to score before halftime . In the second half, the São Paulo team came back with more intensity and capitalized on a defensive lapse. Duda Serrana appeared unmarked to score the winning goal and secure the tricolor's place in the semifinals.
After being eliminated from the Copa do Brasil, the Meninas da Gávea return to the field this Saturday (20), for their debut in the Campeonato Carioca, against Búzios, at 3 pm (Brasília time). Flamengo is the current state champion and holds the hegemony in women's football in Rio , with eight titles won so far.
The player was in Mengão's sights during the transfer window, but ended up being discarded, and his poor performance for the 'Millonarios' attracted attention.

Facundo Colidio's name has been circulating among Flamengo fans again this week. The Argentine striker, who was once on Flamengo's radar for a 2024 deal, took the field in the Libertadores clash between River Plate and Palmeiras, but had a low-key performance and became the target of ridicule from Brazilian fans .
At the time, Flamengo opened talks to sign the 25-year-old center forward, but were stymied by River Plate's high asking price and the player's own desire to remain in Buenos Aires. The Argentine club agreed to renew his contract until 2031, responding to a request from coach Marcelo Gallardo, who considered Colidio an important player in the squad.
By 2024, the striker had scored seven goals in 25 matches. Without an agreement, Flamengo reorganized its attacking plans, while Colidio remained at Monumental de Núñez . This season, he has scored nine times in 30 appearances.
After the match against Palmeiras, many Flamengo fans took to social media to mock the player. One wrote: "And this Colidio guy? He's incredibly stubborn about not wanting to negotiate with Flamengo ... At most, he's fighting for a spot on the bench with Cebolinha."
Another was even more acidic: " This Colidio has every appearance of a Santos player from the last decade ." A third summed it up: "This Colidio is horrible." The general tone was one of relief that the deal hadn't gone through in the past.
The interest in Colidio arose at a time of internal instability at Flamengo. Pedro had lost ground to Filipe Luís, and some of the board considered negotiating him for around €15 million . In this context, Colidio emerged as an option to fill the center-forward role, a debate that sparked disagreements between CEO José Boto and president Luiz Eduardo Baptista (BAP).

Flamengo takes to the field this Thursday (18), at Maracanã, to face Estudiantes (ARG), in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. In great form under the command of Filipe Luís, Rubro-Negro is counting on the good moment to open up an advantage in the confrontation .
Their Argentine opponents arrive under pressure after a losing streak. In their last five matches, they have lost three, drawn one, and won only one, representing a 26.7% success rate . In their most recent match, Estudiantes lost 2-1 to River Plate in the Argentine Championship.
Estudiantes' last games in 2025:
While Estudiantes is struggling, Flamengo is in excellent form. The team is unbeaten in nine games, with seven wins and two draws . In the Libertadores itself, they qualified convincingly, with two victories over Internacional in the round of 16.
For this Thursday's match, the only confirmed absence is Erick Pulgar, who is recovering from a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot. Jorginho and Alex Sandro are still doubtful: both have recovered from muscle pain but are not fully fit. The decision will be made by Filipe Luís.
The duel between Flamengo and Estudiantes will not be shown on free-to-air TV and will be broadcast exclusively on ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming), but fans will be kept up to date with all the details of the match on Gazeta do Urubu.
