In their first match at Maracanã in 2025, Flamengo beat Sampaio Corrêa 2-0 on Thursday (30), concluding the sixth round of the Carioca Championship.

The Rubro-Negro, even while resting the players considered starters, dominated the match from the start, with an intense rhythm and great chances created, as in the finishes of Alcaraz (22′ and 27′) and João Victor (28′).

Goals, however, only in the second half, even with a lower intensity.

After Matheus Gonçalves (4′) had his annulled, the new gem Wallace Yan (30′) opened the scoring by completing a header, after a corner in the area.

Then, after a cross from the left, Alcaraz (42′) appeared almost in the small area to test firm and expand.
