Flamengo and Cruzeiro will battle for a place in the 2026 Copa Libertadores quarterfinals on Wednesday, August 19. The series arrives at the Maracanã tied 1-1, leaving no room for speculation: the winner will advance, and if the teams are level again after 90 minutes, the qualification will be decided on penalties.

🇧🇷🔴⚫ Flamengo: Making Home Advantage Count

The defending champions head into the second leg with the obligation to make home advantage count. Flamengo enter the match after a commanding 5-1 win over Mirassol in the Brasileirão and will look to carry that attacking firepower into the Maracanã. For Leonardo Jardim, the challenge will be finding space against a Cruzeiro side that already showed in Belo Horizonte that it can go toe-to-toe with Flamengo.

The Brazilian side will have Pedro as its attacking reference point, while De Arrascaeta and Jorginho are among the key players expected to create chances and drive the team forward. Flamengo also have a favorable statistic on their side: they have not lost to Cruzeiro at the Maracanã since 2018. Since that 2-0 defeat, they have recorded four wins and two draws in six meetings.

🇧🇷🔵⚪ Cruzeiro: Riding High on Confidence

Cruzeiro will look to reproduce the confidence and composure they showed at the Mineirão. The first-leg draw left the tie wide open, and the team coached by Artur Jorge knows that a win in Rio de Janeiro would send them directly into the quarterfinals.

The Belo Horizonte side also head into the decisive second leg with confidence after a 2-0 away win over Corinthians in the Brasileirão. Keny Arroyo, who scored the stunning opener in the first leg, will be one of the biggest threats to Flamengo's defense, while Kaio Jorge will lead the attack.
