Libertadores night, Maracanã and Pedro's return to Flamengo this Wednesday. That's because the red-black team hosted Argentines from Central Córdoba in the second round of the group stage of the continental tournament. In this sense, Filipe Luís's team, despite dominating the game, ended up losing 2x1 , in the famous "those who don't score, concede".
Flamengo started the match taking control of the attacking initiatives and within a minute had a clear chance . Juninho received the ball in the area and shot straight at the defender. At 9 minutes, it was Bruno Henrique's turn to waste a chance directly against Aguerre. The team's dominance of possession and offensive presence gave indications that a goal was imminent , but they lacked the precision to score. Despite the pressure, Central Córdoba did not give up on attacking and whenever they saw an opening, they exploited the speed of their forwards to try to surprise the defense. In one of the attacking plays, the ball remained live in the area, Florentín tried to dribble in the air and the ball hit Léo Pereira's hand. After checking the VAR, the referee awarded a penalty, which Heredia converted at 23 minutes . The Argentine team retreated significantly, and Rubro-Negro returned to the attacking field, but again without any effectiveness, with the exception of Arrascaeta's individual attempts. Before half-time, the Argentine team once again came out to smother Flamengo 's defense and ended up winning a free kick almost at the corner. Cufré hit it accurately and Florentín headed it in freely to extend the lead.
In the second half, needing to turn the game around, Filipe Luís brought Wesley, Pulgar and Gerson onto the field. Although Cordoba missed a clear chance to score, the substitutions worked and Flamengo came back stronger and managed to reduce the score in the 15th minute. De la Cruz took a free kick straight at goal. Aguerre tried, but couldn't get to the ball, which went into the corner. Great goal! After the goal, Flamengo tried to 'smother' the ball, but made the same offensive mistakes as in other matches, while the Argentines stayed back, waiting for an opportunity to break through. So, Filipe Luís brought forward Pedro onto the field , who returned to the field 7 months after a serious injury. However, without match rhythm, the forward barely got the ball and couldn't help the team. Like a good Argentine team, Cordoba killed time with players falling on the field and Filipe Luís's first defeat in 2025 happened. Game over!
With this result, Flamengo remains with 3 points in group C and awaits the result of LDU x Táchira, who are playing in Quito. Now, the team turns its focus to the Brazilian Championship. This is because it faces Grêmio, at Arena do Grêmio, next Sunday, at 6:30 pm for the third round of the competition. For the Libertadores, Fla returns to the field against LDU, at the altitude of Quito, in Ecuador. The duel will take place on the 22nd, at 7 pm (Brasília time).

Flamengo officially announced the signing of Colombian midfielder Jorge Carrascal this Thursday (31). At 27 years old, the player arrived in Rio de Janeiro after a long journey of more than 19 hours , coming from Russia, where he played for Dynamo Moscow. He is the fourth reinforcement confirmed by the club in the window, alongside Saúl, Emerson Royal and Samuel Lino.
The acquisition of Carrascal represents another step in Flamengo's ambitious project for the remainder of the season. To complete the deal with the Russian club, Flamengo paid 12 million euros— approximately R$77.5 million at the current exchange rate —in a negotiation that dragged on for weeks.
This Thursday (31), the midfielder appeared at Ninho do Urubu, where he underwent medical examinations , visited the facilities at CT George Helal and met with the Technical Director of Football, José Boto. After the completion of the procedures, the player signed a contract with Flamengo.
Carrascal's official presentation was scheduled to take place at the Maracanã stadium before the Copa do Brasil round of 16 clash against Atlético-MG. The event follows the model adopted with Samuel Lino, who was also presented directly to fans in the stadium stands. However, the documentation was not released in time.
Negotiations between Flamengo and Dynamo Moscow began even before the Club World Cup , but faced obstacles before completion. The Rio de Janeiro club had to reformulate its initial proposal, adjusting amounts and payment terms, until reaching an agreement with the Russians. Although the terms were defined in early July, the transfer was only officially finalized this week.
