A Look Back: Previous Semi-Final Appearances
2021 Copa do Brasil
In 2021, Flamengo met Athletico-PR in the semi-finals. Despite a strong first leg, Flamengo faced a setback when Athletico-PR won the return match 3-0, with goals from Nikão and Zé Ivaldo. This loss knocked Flamengo out of the competition.
2022 Copa do Brasil
The year 2022 was particularly memorable for Flamengo. Not only did they reach the semi-finals, but they also clinched the title. They first overcame São Paulo in the semi-finals, then triumphed over Corinthians in a tense penalty shootout in the final, winning 6-5. This victory marked Flamengo’s fourth Copa do Brasil title.
2023 Copa do Brasil
Last year, Flamengo again showed their strength by reaching the semi-finals. They played against Grêmio, a team with a rich history in the cup. Flamengo won the first leg 2-0 and secured their place in the final with a 1-0 victory in the return leg. However, they fell short in the final against São Paulo and had to settle for the runner-up position.
As Flamengo prepares for this year’s semi-finals against Corinthians, we can expect another thrilling chapter in their Copa do Brasil journey. The club’s recent performances underscore their consistent prowess in the tournament, making their upcoming matches even more anticipated.
