The Flamengo achieved an impressive victory over Santos 3-1 this Wednesday (24), in a match valid for the Brasileirão U20. The game, played at Vila Belmiro, was highlighted by the highlight of Nigerian Shola, who scored the first red-black goal and also contributed an assist to Felipe Teresa. The third goal was scored by Victor Silva. Peixe's goal of honor was scored by Mateus Xavier.
The victory propelled Flamengo to eighth place in the table, now adding six points. Meanwhile, Santos remains in fourth place, accumulating seven points. From the start of the match, Flamengo demonstrated greater danger to the opponent's goal. After three minutes, Shola created the first goal opportunity for the Rio team. And it was he who opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, with a beautiful shot that gave the opposing goalkeeper no chance.
ELECTRIZING MATCH AT VILA BELMIRO
Despite from the home domain of Flamengo , Santos reacted during the first half. In the last play of the first half, Miguelito almost scored for Peixe, hitting the ball against the crossbar. In the second half, Santos started pressing and managed to tie the game after three minutes, with Mateus Xavier taking advantage of the rebound of a header against the crossbar. Goalkeeper Lucas Furtado, from Flamengo, had to work hard to avoid the Santos comeback soon after.
With Santos taking control of the game, Flamengo found it difficult to create scoring opportunities. However, in one of the few attacks, Rubro-Negro scored the second goal in the 37th minute, with Felipe Teresa, who received an assist from Shola. During the celebration, Felipe imitated the characteristic gesture of the player Gabigol, currently away from Flamengo's activities.
To seal the victory, Victor Silva scored Flamengo's third goal, with a beautiful cover shot, consolidating the victory 3-1 over Santos. Now, Flamengo is preparing for the next challenges in the competition, while Santos will seek to rise again in the search for better results.

Facundo Colidio's name has been circulating among Flamengo fans again this week. The Argentine striker, who was once on Flamengo's radar for a 2024 deal, took the field in the Libertadores clash between River Plate and Palmeiras, but had a low-key performance and became the target of ridicule from Brazilian fans .
At the time, Flamengo opened talks to sign the 25-year-old center forward, but were stymied by River Plate's high asking price and the player's own desire to remain in Buenos Aires. The Argentine club agreed to renew his contract until 2031, responding to a request from coach Marcelo Gallardo, who considered Colidio an important player in the squad.
By 2024, the striker had scored seven goals in 25 matches. Without an agreement, Flamengo reorganized its attacking plans, while Colidio remained at Monumental de Núñez . This season, he has scored nine times in 30 appearances.
After the match against Palmeiras, many Flamengo fans took to social media to mock the player. One wrote: "And this Colidio guy? He's incredibly stubborn about not wanting to negotiate with Flamengo ... At most, he's fighting for a spot on the bench with Cebolinha."
Another was even more acidic: " This Colidio has every appearance of a Santos player from the last decade ." A third summed it up: "This Colidio is horrible." The general tone was one of relief that the deal hadn't gone through in the past.
The interest in Colidio arose at a time of internal instability at Flamengo. Pedro had lost ground to Filipe Luís, and some of the board considered negotiating him for around €15 million . In this context, Colidio emerged as an option to fill the center-forward role, a debate that sparked disagreements between CEO José Boto and president Luiz Eduardo Baptista (BAP).

Flamengo takes to the field this Thursday (18), at Maracanã, to face Estudiantes (ARG), in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. In great form under the command of Filipe Luís, Rubro-Negro is counting on the good moment to open up an advantage in the confrontation .
Their Argentine opponents arrive under pressure after a losing streak. In their last five matches, they have lost three, drawn one, and won only one, representing a 26.7% success rate . In their most recent match, Estudiantes lost 2-1 to River Plate in the Argentine Championship.
Estudiantes' last games in 2025:
While Estudiantes is struggling, Flamengo is in excellent form. The team is unbeaten in nine games, with seven wins and two draws . In the Libertadores itself, they qualified convincingly, with two victories over Internacional in the round of 16.
For this Thursday's match, the only confirmed absence is Erick Pulgar, who is recovering from a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot. Jorginho and Alex Sandro are still doubtful: both have recovered from muscle pain but are not fully fit. The decision will be made by Filipe Luís.
The duel between Flamengo and Estudiantes will not be shown on free-to-air TV and will be broadcast exclusively on ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming), but fans will be kept up to date with all the details of the match on Gazeta do Urubu.
The former Mengão striker is attracting interest from the São Paulo team, but contractual issues and high salary figures could make negotiations for 2026 difficult.

Gabigol's name has been linked to Corinthians again . The striker, who has previously been involved in controversy at Flamengo due to images in the black and white jersey, now appears as a possible reinforcement for the São Paulo club in 2026.
At Cruzeiro, Gabigol is facing a turbulent time . With Kaio Jorge in excellent form and a starter in the Raposa attack, the striker has lost his place in Leonardo Jardim's team, which has generated dissatisfaction on the player's part.
According to journalist Jorge Nicola, Corinthians is interested in signing Gabigol, but to make the deal happen, they would need to release Memphis Depay . The Dutch striker earns around R$6 million per month, while Gabigol's salary is over R$2 million.
Another critical point is Gabigol's contract with Cruzeiro, valid until 2028. For the player to be able to transfer, Corinthians would need to negotiate financial compensation with Raposa, in addition to adjusting its payroll.
Gabigol arrived at Cruzeiro on a free transfer after ending his stint with Flamengo. He has a four-year contract with the Minas Gerais club and has so far played 35 matches, scored 12 goals, and provided four assists.
