Campeonato Carioca
1981 Campeonato Carioca
The important Rio de Janeiro state league schedule coincided with Flamengo's Copa Libertadores matches of the same year. Paulo César Carpegiani was a player and occasional starter for Flamengo in the first round of the Carioca, also serving as Dino Sani's assistant and eventually taking over as manager for the Carioca second round.http://flamengoeternamente.blogspot.com/2016/03/a-conquista-do-campeonato-carioca-de.html Flamengo Eternamente: A conquista do Campeonato Carioca de 1981 Bottino Renata Christovão 16 March 2016 Flamengo Eternamente 2019-02-13
After finishing top in the first round Taça Guanabara and qualifying for the final, Flamengo turned their focus to the Libertadores group stage during the second round, which Vasco da Gama went on to win. In the third round, Flamengo's 6 – 0 thrashing of rival Botafogo was historic, and avenged their match in 1972 with the reverse scoreline. Flamengo captured the third round with their most wins, and the most goals scored and best goal differential of the competition.
Flamengo entered the final against Vasco with two rounds won (compared to Vasco's one round) and the most overall points across the three rounds. At a single match final in the Maracanã, a draw would be sufficient for Flamengo to become state champions. If Flamengo lost, a rematch would be a played and a draw would again give the title to Flamengo. A loss would force a third and final match.http://apaixonafutebol.blogspot.com/2012/01/mengao-caminho-de-toquio-mengao-en.html APAIXONADO POR FUTEBOL: CAMPEONATO CARIOCA DE 1981 - IRRESISTÍVEL MENGÃO !

Days before the final, tragedy struck Flamengo as former manager Cláudio Coutinho died while scuba diving the Ilhas Cagarras archipelago near Rio de Janeiro. Vasco were victorious in the match, 2 – 0, both goals scored by Roberto Dinamite. In the second match, Flamengo supporters cite rainy weather as the reason for their team's poor performance, losing again to Vasco by a final-minute goal from Dinamite.
On December 6, Flamengo won the decisive match with first half goals from Adílio and Nunes. Ticão scored for Vasco late in the second half, and as the team attempted to mount a comeback and force extra time, a Flamengo-supporter bricklayer invaded the pitch and started a confrontation with a Vasco player. Play was stopped for eight minutes as Nunes separated the bricklayer. Flamengo held on to win and earn their 21st Rio de Janeiro state championship.

Copa Libertadores
1981 Copa LibertadoresThe 1981 edition of the Copa Libertadores was Flamengo's debut season in the tournament.http://www.conmebol.com/es/22112014-2245/con-la-magia-de-zico-flamengo-conquista-la-copa-libertadores Con la magia de Zico, Flamengo conquista la Copa Libertadores CONMEBOL www.conmebol.com 2019-02-13 Flamengo qualified as champion of 1980 Campeonato Brasileiro (Atlético Mineiro qualified as runners-up). Flamengo would go on to win the tournament, undefeated until the final against Chilean newcomers Cobreloa.
In the first group stage, the Brazilian entrants were paired with both Paraguayan clubs: Cerro Porteño and Olimpia. Flamengo had to travel away to Asunción for their last two matchdays and needed at least 3 points to catch Atlético Mineiro (only the top team in the group would advance). Former player and assistant Paulo César Carpegiani assumed the role of manager from Dino Sani after their second draw against Atlético on the 4th matchday. Flamengo were equal on points with the club from Belo Horizonte and forced a play-off at the neutral Estádio Serra Dourada in Goiânia. However the match was suspended after 37 minutes as Atlético were reduced to only six eligible players (Osmar, Chicao, Palinha, Reinaldo and Eder were sent off). Per regulation, victory was awarded to Flamengo.
Flamengo advanced through the semi-final group with a dominant performance: four victories in four matches.https://www.imortaisdofutebol.com/2012/04/21/esquadrao-imortal-flamengo-1980-1983/ Esquadrão Imortal – Flamengo 1980-1983 – Imortais do Futebol pt-BR 2019-02-13 In the final, they encountered another Libertadores debutante in Cobreloa, a club that had only been founded four years prior. In the first final at the Maracanã, Flamengo prevailed (2 – 1) with two goals from Zico. In the National Stadium in Santiago the following week (not in Cobreloa's home town of Calama), the Brazilians were pressured on the field and, according to Zico, injured by Cobreloa players hiding rocks in their hands, and disadvantaged by the Uruguayan referee Ramón Barreto.https://www.emol.com/noticias/deportes/2012/10/27/566724/zico-mario-soto-jugo-con-una-piedra-en-la-mano-en-la-final-de-la-libertadores-1981.html Zico: "Mario Soto jugó con una piedra en la mano" en la final de la Libertadores 1981 Emol.com S.A.P El Mercurio 2012-10-27 Emol Spanish 2019-02-13http://www.pauta.cl/deportes/las-otras-12-ocasiones-en-las-que-santiago-recibio-una-final-de Las otras 12 ocasiones en las que Santiago recibió una final de Libertadores pauta pauta es-CL 2019-02-13 Victor Merello scored the only goal of the match on a free kick.
Equal on goals, a third match was played at the neutral venue of the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo. If the third match ended in a draw, extra time would be played. If still tied, the trophy would be awarded to Cobreloa based on away goals. Zico scored twice in the first half, sealing the game and the championship. With the match won, Anselmo of Flamengo entered on in the final minutes for the sole purpose of hurting Cobreloa captain Mario Soto in revenge. Both were sent off. Flamengo were crowned Champions of America, and returned to Brazil to dispute the Rio de Janeiro state league final, with a match against Liverpool in Tokyo confirmed for December.
