Flamengo became the champion of Brazil one round before the end of the season, gaining the eighth title in its history. In the 37th round, the team minimally beat Ceara with a score of 1:0. Samuel Lino scored a goal in the 37th minute, putting the Reds and Blacks out of reach for Palmeiras.

This river became one of the most successful clubs in the history of Rio de Janeiro. Flamengo has successively won the State Cup, the Brazilian Cup, the Regional Super Cup, and also triumphed in the Libertadores Cup, once again defeating Palmeiras (1:0) in the finals.

The main architect of these successes was head coach Felipe Luis, the great boss of Chelsea and Atletico Madrid..
