Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (26) to face Juventude, at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul. The teams are going through different moments in the Brazilian Championship, especially in terms of goals scored at home and away. The confrontation promises to be fierce, with Flamengo seeking to maintain its lead and Juventude trying to move up the table.




In the current Brazilian Championship, Flamengo has been a feared visitor . The red-black team occupies second place in the ranking of goals away from home, with 11 goals scored. This number makes Mengo the club that scored the most goals as a visitor, highlighting its offensive strength and efficiency away from home.



On the other hand, Juventude has been highlighted in his games at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium. In the five games played at home, they won 11 points and conceded just two goals. Thus, the club from Rio Grande do Sul is one of the least leaked teams in front of its fans, alongside Bahia and Internacional. This solid defensive performance is an important asset for Juventude.



In the general classification of the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo leads with 24 points, one more than Palmeiras, second place. Furthermore, the red-black team won six and drew one in the last eight clashes, showing consistency. Juventude occupies 12th place, with 13 points. The Gauchos lost to Palmeiras in the previous round, but hope to recover playing at home.


Flamengo and Juventude face each other this Wednesday (26), at 8pm (Brasília time), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in a match valid for the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship. The confrontation promises to be exciting, with different objectives: Flamengo wants to maintain its lead, while Juventude seeks to move away from the bottom of the table.

Flamengo said goodbye to the Women's Copa do Brasil this Wednesday (17), after a 1-0 defeat to São Paulo, in the quarterfinals of the tournament. After the final whistle, striker Cristiane spoke out and made harsh criticisms of the refereeing.


Flamengo's Cristiane, after elimination from the Copa do Brasil: "It was biased refereeing"


"Everyone saw today's match , no need to even talk about it. The refereeing was biased, and it also went wrong in São Paulo's favor. But when the refereeing ends up deciding the match, it gets complicated . I don't know the choices made for a game as big as this, Flamengo vs. São Paulo," the player declared.


She continued: " Unfortunately, today had a big impact on us . We've made significant progress compared to the beginning of the year, that's clear. But when the refereeing has a direct impact, it gets difficult," Cristiane concluded.

HOW WAS THE GAME?


The first half of the derby was evenly matched. São Paulo started better, but after 20 minutes, Flamengo began to control possession. Even so, neither team managed to score before halftime . In the second half, the São Paulo team came back with more intensity and capitalized on a defensive lapse. Duda Serrana appeared unmarked to score the winning goal and secure the tricolor's place in the semifinals.

FLAMENGO'S NEXT CHALLENGE

After being eliminated from the Copa do Brasil, the Meninas da Gávea return to the field this Saturday (20), for their debut in the Campeonato Carioca, against Búzios, at 3 pm (Brasília time). Flamengo is the current state champion and holds the hegemony in women's football in Rio , with eight titles won so far.
