Revisited: Flamengo beat Fluminense 3–1 to reach women’s Brazilian Cup semi-finals
Three goals in the October 22 return leg secured progress, despite Flamengo later going down to ten players.

Flamengo answered their first-leg defeat with a 3–1 win over Fluminense at the Luso-Brasileiro on October 22, 2026. The result secured a place in the women’s Brazilian Cup semi-finals; this was not a men’s derby result.
Jucinara, Kaylane and Laysa scored for Flamengo. Sofia was sent off in the second half, changing the situation. Nath Rodrigues pulled one back from the penalty spot for Fluminense, but Flamengo retained the qualifying result.
The task shifted from overturning the first-leg deficit to protecting the result with ten players. The club’s report describes that change; its praise of the players remains the source’s assessment rather than a substitute for the result.
