On Thursday, the 19th, Flamengo won an important victory over Cruzeiro, with a score of 2-0, at the Mineirão stadium, in a game valid for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. It's worth remembering that Mais Querido is the best visitor of the tournament.

This victory was not just another triumph, but it also extended the positive sequence of the red-and-black club when it comes to facing the blue team in the aforementioned stadium.< /p>



This result marked Flamengo's fourth consecutive victory over Cruzeiro at Mineirão. This series of victories began in 2018, when Mengo beat the opposing team in the same stadium, twice: once in the Copa Libertadores da América and once in the Campeonato Brasileiro.

Subsequently, the success continued with two more victories in the Brasileirão, in 2019 and again in 2023. A mark that is difficult to establish given Cruzeiro's strength at home.



Now, Flamengo returns to the field next Sunday (22), against rival Vasco, at 4pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The game is valid for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship, and Mais Querido is looking for three more points to continue in the fight for the Brasileirão title and a place in the group stage in the Copa Libertadores da América.
