Flamengo took advantage of Palmeiras’ slip-up to extend their lead at the top of the 2026 Brasileirão.

With goals from Varela and Pedro, the Rubro-Negro beat Red Bull Bragantino 2-1 on Sunday night (20).

Sosa pulled one back for Massa Bruta.

The match was played in front of 66,052 fans at the Maracanã.

And it was valid for the 28th round of the competition.

Red Bull Bragantino threatened first through a move by Fernando and then with an attempt from Rodriguinho.

And it was in that attack that Flamengo lost Ayrton Lucas to a possible injury.

What followed was total Rubro-Negro dominance.
