Rubro Negro eliminated Atlético Nacional last Saturday (16), while the São Paulo side took the Chileans away from Colo - Colo. Mais Querido entered the field with the mission of defending the title, as he was champion in the last edition and confirmed that.1ST HALF
The game was designed to be decided in detail. There were few submissions that took place despite it being a good match. Clear opportunities did not happen. Some highlights were the beautiful moves. Ryan Roberto did a beautiful half-moon. Mais Querido played well and managed some shots, however, he barely posed any danger to the opposing defense.
2ND HALF
In the second half, Flamengo grew and soon opened the score. Joshua's header is strong, and when a good cross appeared, the star didn't waste it. Mais Querido's attacker rose higher than São Paulo's defense and filled the opponent's net. In the next move, Camargo almost increased the score, but shot over the goalkeeper.
In the 13th minute, Douglas Telles increased the score with a great goal. A quick counterattack that featured Joshua again. Douglas showed coolness to dribble past the goalkeeper in front of the goal and score Rubro Negro's second goal in a match that was already dominated by Flamengo.
Despite having dominated the match during the second half, Rubro's idea Negro changed and decided to play defense. But they managed to do it with great quality. The team played deeper, however, they managed to avoid São Paulo's advances and chances. Maintaining the strategy until the end, Garotos do Ninho won the Flamengo Adidas Cup 2023 trophy. In 2022, Mais Querido also lifted the trophy at home. At the time, the rival was Santos Laguna (MEX), which also participated in 2023, however, fell in the group stage of the current edition.
Rubro Negro's hero in 2022 was the jewel of the base, Loran. He was still playing for the under-16s and scored both goals in Mais Querido's victory. Flamengo's triumph was 2-1. In other words, the star scored all of Mengão's goals in the decision.

Since the victory over Fluminense on July 20, Flamengo's defense has faced a challenge in the absence of Danilo. The defender has missed six consecutive games, including the Copa do Brasil round of 16, but is showing significant progress in his recovery and is expected to return to training with the squad later this week.
Despite the progress, his participation against Internacional, this Wednesday (13), at Maracanã, for the Libertadores , is ruled out. The technical committee opts for caution, aiming to avoid the risk of new injury.
The internal expectation is that Danilo will be available for the match against Colorado, valid for the Brazilian Championship, next Sunday (17), at 6:30 pm, at Beira-Rio. If the return is confirmed, the defender's presence will bring more stability to the defensive system and allow strategic rest for Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira, who have been playing without rest since his injury.
Without Danilo, the central defender duo has started all six recent games , amassing 540 minutes of unsubstituted play. Their teammate's return is seen as crucial to relieving the strain and offering coach Filipe Luís new options.
During the period without the defender, Flamengo faced crucial challenges. In addition to the Copa do Brasil match against Atlético-MG, which ended in elimination, the team played four Brasileirão matches, winning three and drawing one.
The sole decision of the continental tournament takes place on November 29, in Peru, repeating the stage of the 2019 final won by Flamengo over River Plate.

Former player Felipe Melo, currently a commentator for Grupo Globo , predicted the outcome of the Copa Libertadores da América and pointed out that the champion of the edition could come from the clash between Flamengo and Internacional. During his participation in the program Fechamento, on SporTV, last Sunday (10), the former midfielder also highlighted Botafogo and Palmeiras as strong contenders for the continental title.
"Saying who will beat the champion is very complicated. Who has the best chance? For me, Flamengo, Botafogo, and Palmeiras. Botafogo is growing, and they've got players coming in who are already making a difference. And Palmeiras always comes through. I think we'll indeed have another Brazilian final," he declared.
Felipe Melo emphasized that, given the crossover of the knockout stages, the team that qualifies from the duel between Flamengo and Colorado will have a good chance of reaching the final: "I think whoever gets past Flamengo and Inter will go on to win the final. Based on what's happening, I'd put those three— Palmeiras, Flamengo, and Botafogo—as the ones with the best chances ," he stated.
On the same side of the bracket, in addition to the two Brazilian teams, are Cerro Porteño-PAR, Estudiantes-ARG, Fortaleza, Racing-ARG, Peñarol-URU, and Vélez Sarsfield-ARG. For the commentator, this scenario increases the prospects of a Brazilian team advancing to the final.
The first game of the round of 16 between Flamengo and Internacional takes place this Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm , at Maracanã. The return match will be played on the 20th, at Beira-Rio.
