Career

Mattheus Oliveira made his professional debut for Flamengo on 3 February 2012, as a 77th-minute substitute for Lucas Quintino in a goalless home Campeonato Carioca match against Olaria; it was his only appearance of the season.[2] On 17 June, he made his Campeonato Brasileiro Série A debut, coming on in added time for Ibson in a 1–0 home win over Santos.[3] He made 11 appearances in that campaign, with three starts, the first of which was a goalless draw against Portuguesa at the Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos on 27 July.[4]
