It's São Paulo's turn to host Flamengo for the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship . The match against Corinthians will be played on September 28th at 8:30 pm (Brasília time) at the Neo Química Arena . Members of the Sem Fronteiras plan have priority when purchasing tickets for the visiting section reserved for the red-and-blacks.
Before facing Corinthians , Flamengo has a decisive commitment in the Copa Libertadores. Filipe Luís' team faces Estudiantes this Thursday (25), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium , in La Plata. After winning 2-1 at Maracanã, Rubro-Negro qualifies for the semifinal with a draw in Argentina.
After terminating his contract with Athletic-MG, the striker revealed by Mengão signs for two and a half years with the Serbian club, which is fighting against relegation in the championship

After ending his contract with Athletic-MG last Friday (19), Lincoln already has a new destination defined. The striker, revealed in the youth categories of Flamengo, was announced this Saturday (20) as reinforcement of FK Spartak Subotica, team of the first division of the Serbian Championship.
The player has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract, valid until the end of 2028. His main mission will be to help the club escape relegation , as Spartak is currently bottom of the table, with just one win and six points from nine matches played.
Lincoln arrived at Athletic-MG in January but failed to establish himself. In recent months, he had been underused, even training at off-peak times, and wasn't part of the coaching staff's plans.
Even so, the striker had some standout moments: he played in 16 matches, scored five goals, and provided three assists. With the Minas Gerais club, he won the Troféu Inconfidência, a tournament for mid-table teams in the Campeonato Mineiro, scoring twice in the final against Uberlândia.
Revealed at Flamengo and considered one of the brightest prospects in the club's youth academy, Lincoln formed a successful partnership with Vinicius Júnior in the youth ranks. Between 2019 and 2020, he was a reserve on Jorge Jesus' historic team , winning two Brazilian Championships, a Libertadores, a Recopa Sudamericana, and a Brazilian Super Cup.
A 1-1 draw in the derby rekindles criticism from fans and raises questions about the lack of opportunities for the Mengão youth striker.

Flamengo failed to replicate its recent strong performances , only managing a 1-1 draw with Vasco. During the 90 minutes, the team displayed technical and tactical inconsistencies , a fact that generated significant negative feedback on social media. Fans expressed dissatisfaction with the Flamengo's performance, demanding changes and more consistency from the team.
One of the main topics of debate after the derby was striker Wallace Yan . Considered one of Flamengo's promising prospects, the 20-year-old has already scored important goals for Flamengo , but has been increasingly used less by Filipe Luís.
After not being called up for the match against Vasco, Wallace posted on social media with the caption "Process." Many fans interpreted the message as a dig at the coach for his lack of opportunities . Some Flamengo fans on social media even speculated about a possible negotiation or departure for the player in 2026.
In his last five matches, Wallace Yan has only played four minutes . The striker didn't play against Vitória, Grêmio, Estudiantes de La Plata, and Vasco. His only appearance came against Juventude, when he came off the bench in the 41st minute of the second half.
Wallace Yan has started seven times this season and frequently came on as a substitute. However, since Flamengo 's elimination to Atlético-MG in the Copa do Brasil, coach Filipe Luís has significantly reduced the player's presence on the field , raising questions about his status in the squad.
