The title, contested between the previous year's first division champions and the Brazilian Cup winners, was revived this year after a hiatus of almost three decades.
Strike pair Bruno Henrique and Gabriel Barbosa scored in the 15th and 29th minutes to put Flamengo 2-0 up at halftime, before Uruguayan Giorgian De Arrascaeta made it three midway through the second half.
The victory continued what has been a sensational run by the Rio de Janeiro club, who won the Serie A and Copa Libertadores titles in November and are through to next weekend's final of the Guanabara Cup in Rio de Janeiro's state championship. (Reporting by Andrew Downie Editing by Ian Chadband)
