⏱️ Half-time: Flu v Vasco sees taunting and stunning own goal with the chest
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. Fluminense and Vasco are tied at 1-1 at the Maracanã this Saturday (24th), in the tenth round of the 2025 Brasileirã first half was full of tension in this Rio derby. And João Victor's goal, who opened the scoring for the Cruz-Maltino with a header after a free kick from Piton, "spiced up" the match even more. During the goal celebration, striker Rayan made a "C" with his hand towards the Fluminense fans, alluding to the third division dispute in 1999. rayan fazendo o 'C' com a mão para torcida do fluminense — out of context brasileirão (@oocbrsao) May 24, 2025 💢| RAYAN METEU O "C" PRA TORCIDA DO FLUMINENC KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK — Brasileirão da Opressão (@brasileiraoopre) May 24, 2025 Nem fudendo que o Rayan meteu um 'C' pra torcida do Fluminense KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK — Sincerão (@oficialsincerao) May 24, 2025 Rayan: " sim👍, fiz a provocação ("C" pra torcida do fluminence).

Even though the nerves affected the Tricolor team, the equalizer came still in the first half. Guga sent in a tight cross, Lima headed the ball, Léo Jardim made the save, and the ball bounced off Vegetti's chest to end up in the back of the Cruz-Maltino net.

📋 Fluminense announce squad for derby with late absentee
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. Fluminense will have another certain change to face Vasco soon, starting at 6:30 pm (Brasília time) this Saturday (24). Classic valid for the tenth round of the Brasileirão and which will have the Maracanã as its against Aparecidense to be initially preserved, Samuel Xavier is out of the classic. He continues with pain in his right thigh and did not meet the conditions to play. This will guarantee Guga's place on the right flank. There was an expectation for the return of Lima and Keno. But only the midfielder is an option. The striker remains out due to load control. Nonato was a certain absence - he will serve a suspension. And Thiago Silva returns after being spared in Mané Garrincha. Flu occupies the seventh position with 14 points. The Cruz-Maltino is in 13th place, with ten.

The next Guga? Promising Brazilian Fonseca needed a break to adjust to added attention on tour
MADRID (AP) — Joao Fonseca needed to rest his mind and reflect on everything happening to him. It was all too new for the young Brazilian tennis player — the media requests, the new fans, the praise from the top players. 'We felt that it was time to take a pause and reflect about everything that happened,' said the 18-year-old Fonseca, who has been quickly rising through the ATP rankings and is considered one of the sport's most promising players. 'A lot has changed. I needed time to rest my mind. It was an important break.' Fonseca, who is up to No. 65 in the world, paused for nearly a month after reaching the third round in Miami. He went back to Rio de Janeiro to practice and try to recharge after playing several tournaments in a row late last year and early this season. He is playing at the Madrid Open this week, where on Saturday he is scheduled to face Tommy Paul in the second round of the ATP 1000 clay-court tournament. 'Now there are a lot of people talking about the media, the Internet,' Fonseca said. 'I have to stay grounded and keep working hard to achieve more in tennis. I have to keep focused on my things and not on the expectations from other people.' Former players Andy Murray and Boris Becker, as well as four-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz, were among those praising the Brazilian recently. Fonseca won his first tour title in Buenos Aires in February, becoming the first man born in 2006 or later to win an ATP trophy. He was the 10th youngest champion in ATP Tour history and the youngest South American player to win a title in the ATP Tour era (since 1990). Fonseca started attracting more attention after winning the Next Gen ATP Finals last December, a tournament that brings together the season's best players who are 20 or younger. He also made headlines after reaching the second round at the Australian Open this year. 'A lot changed since the Next Gen and the Australian Open,' he said. 'I became more well known around the world.' Fonseca comfortably defeated Elmer Moller, 21, in the first round in Madrid in a match played on center court. 'I'm getting more used to those kind of tournaments and the stadiums,' he said. 'Today I was a little bit more experienced than the other guy. It's difficult to say that because I was younger than him, but I already knew how it was to play on big stadiums, and I think it was his first time and he was a little bit more nervous. I'm feeling a little bit more like of a routine, feeling more adapted on those courts.' Next Guga? Fonseca is already an idol to Brazilians, who haven't had much to cheer in tennis since former world No. 1 Gustavo 'Guga' Kuerten, who won the French Open in 1997, 2000 and 2001. Loud Brazilian fans have been following Fonseca closely across the world, with big crowds at his matches both in Madrid and in Miami this year. Fonseca said he doesn't want to be considered the new Guga, though. Instead, he is just trying to stay focused on training hard and on improving. 'Thankfully I have a great foundation, with relatives, friends and coaches who have been helping me keep my feet on the ground and stay humble to keep on working,' he said. ___
