Vasco won against Atlético-MG this Sunday afternoon (20) by 1 to 0. The game for the 20th round of the Brasileirão ended up relieving Cruzmaltino who, even though he is still in the relegation zone, is momentarily in the 18th position. The result put the Rio team above Coritiba, Flamengo's rival in this round. A Mais Querido victory will end up helping its state rival.
At the beginning of this second round of the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo will face Coritiba. The match, in Paraná, starts at 4 pm (Brasília time) and is a very important moment for Mengão to start recovering in the competition. With the 5th position and adding 32 points, a victory would mean advancing two places in the leaderboard.
Botafogo, current leader of the Brasileirão, drew this Saturday (19) in a goalless game against São Paulo. With three more points, Fla would have 13 points separating it from first place, which now has 48 points. However, a victory over Coritiba will not fail to have a bittersweet touch.
That's because the rival is at the other end of the table, battling for its survival in Serie A against Vasco. The team from Rio de Janeiro won against Atlético-MG and now has two points off the team from Paraná (16 points). With 14 points, a defeat would mean for Coritiba a stagnation in the 19th position below Cruzmaltino. The victory over Mengão would sink Vasco da Gama even more.

Last Wednesday (18), representatives from Flamengo and Caixa Econômica Federal held another meeting to resolve the impasse surrounding the Gasologista land, acquired by the club in July. The meeting had the support of Rio de Janeiro City Hall and the Attorney General's Office (AGU), and a new meeting scheduled for next week, in Brasília, could seal the definitive agreement. The information was released by journalist Diogo Dantas, from the newspaper "O Globo".
Mengão's board of directors, represented by president Rodolfo Landim, vice-general Rodrigo Dunshee, CEO Reinaldo Belotti and vice-president of equity Marcos Bodin, was optimistic about the possibility of a solution soon. Caixa questions the amount paid by the club at the land auction, but everything indicates that an additional amount could resolve the legal conflict by next month.
The meeting was also attended by deputy Pedro Paulo and the club's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, who have acted as intermediaries between the club and the mayor from Rio, Eduardo Paes. In August, a meeting involving the bank's president, Carlos Vieira, president Lula and mayor Eduardo Paes had already signaled the path to an agreement.
Mais Querido's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, highlighted that the agreement is the ideal way to give peace of mind to the club. "For the club, a good agreement is always better than an eternal discussion about values. The land has already been expropriated. The agreement is ideal to eliminate any doubts and for Flamengo to have the necessary peace of mind to begin the work", said Cotta.
