This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. Flamengo SHOCKED Corinthians fans and Brazilian football this Sunday afternoon (27), at the Maracanã. Advertisement With a stellar performance, the Rubro-Negro defeated Timão 4-0 in the Superclássico valid for the sixth round of BR 2025. Everton Cebolinha, at 5', Arrascaeta, at 34', and Pedro, at 37' and 80', scored the goals in the rout led by Filipe Luís. It's worth mentioning that Flamengo took a big step towards victory already in the first half by opening 3-0. WHAT A FIRST HALF! The numbers speak for themselves: Flamengo had ten shots compared to only four from Corinthians during the first 45 minutes. Not to mention Pedro's shot that hit the post when the score was still 1-0, which could have made Corinthians' situation even worse. A dominance of 57% ball possession against 43% for the visitors. Advertisement And putting a well-known figure among Flamengo fans on edge: coach Dorival Júnior. Having previously coached the Rubro-Negro and likely the new coach of Corinthians, Dorival was at the Maracanã watching the game in person (more details below). 300 + 100! April 27, 2025, will not easily be forgotten by Flamengo fans. The same can be said for two Fla players: Luiz Araújo and the idol Bruno Henrique. Trained in Cotia by São Paulo, Luiz Araújo completed his hundredth game with the Most Beloved's jersey against Corinthians. BH, on the other hand, played his 300th match for Flamengo. For those who don't know, the forward is the third top scorer of the club in the 21st century. Not to mention he is the third top scorer of Fla in the history of the Brazilian Championship. Advertisement Is that good enough or do you want more? Has Dorival already regretted it? As mentioned above, Dorival Júnior is in Rio de Janeiro and watched the Superclássico directly from the stadium. The former coach of the Brazilian National Team has not yet been announced by the São Paulo club, but the deal was confirmed by several journalists. And of course, people on social media wouldn't let it slide, right? There was no shortage of people joking about Dorival reconsidering his decision to choose Corinthians after the 4-0. Are you going to quit, coach? What's next? With the great victory, Flamengo rises to 14 points, temporarily taking the lead in Serie A. Palmeiras, with 13 points, hosts Bahia at 18:30 and can reclaim the position. Advertisement Mengo will play again in the Brazilian league next Sunday (4), away against Cruzeiro. Before that, they face Botafogo-PB on Thursday (1) for the Copa do Brasil. Corinthians, on the other hand, remains at seven points, currently in eleventh place on the table. Timão will face Novo Horizontino away next Wednesday (1) for the Copa do Brasil and will host Inter on Saturday (3) for the Brazilian league. 📸 Buda Mendes - 2025 Getty Images

📽 Flamengo beats Vasco in penultimate round of Cariocão 2025
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. In the Maracanã, Flamengo beat Vasco 2-0, on Saturday (15), in a match valid for the 10th and penultimate round of Cariocão 2025. The Gávea team has not lost to their rival since 2023. Since then, there have been eight games of invincibility. FIMMMMMMMMMMMM DE JOGO NO MARACA! O MENGíO VENCE O VASCO POR 2 A 0 COM GOLS DE BRUNO HENRIQUE E EVERTON CEBOLINHA! MENGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! #CRF #VamosFlamengo — Flamengo (@Flamengo) February 16, 2025 The first half was a true thrashing by the Rubro-Negro, who controlled the ball possession and had a lot of offensive volume. The performance of the cross-and-anchor team, on the other hand, was embarrassing. They only defended with three volantes, had no offensive capability, and even in the "long ball" forward, they lost the first and second ball. With Flamengo constantly attacking in search of the goal, goalkeeper Léo Jardim and striker Vegetti - two pillars of the Vasco team - argued harshly. Léo Jardim e Vegetti discutem durante o clássico entre Flamengo e Vasco — ge (@geglobo) February 16, 2025 From so much pressure, Flamengo opened the scoring from a penalty. Plata entered dribbling in the area and, when finishing, was touched by Zuccarello from behind. Bruno Henrique (30') - the King of Classics - kicked hard into the corner of Léo Jardim and opened the scoring for the Rubro-Negro. Plata entra na área e é derrubado por Zuccarello. O árbitro marca pênalti, que foi convertido por Bruno Henrique na sequência. — ge (@geglobo) February 16, 2025 Gonzalo Plata almost extended the lead with a header, after a bad mistake by Léo Jardim trying to cut off the cross from Varela, but the goal was disallowed due to offside by the Uruguayan full-back in the play. The dominance of Flamengo was evident in the heat map of Vasco, all inside their defensive area. After the interval, however, Vasco "appeared" for the Classic of the Millions. Just five minutes in, Tchê Tchê unleashed a long-range shot and forced Rossi to defend. The best cross-and-anchor chance came when Pumita Rodríguez crossed from the right sideline, and Vegetti (17') jumped higher than the entire Rubro-Negro defense. But the Argentine's header hit the crossbar of Rossi. But after 20 minutes of the final stage, the Vasco's breath ended. And the quality of Flamengo made itself present. Michael came out injured at 23 minutes, and Everton Cebolinha, who entered in his place, extended the lead at the end of the game, finishing perfectly from outside the area, in the corner of Léo Jardim. Michael recebe passe de Luiz Araújo, mas cai sentindo o músculo posterior da coxa esquerda. O atacante é substituído por Everton Cebolinha. — ge (@geglobo) February 16, 2025 Once again, at the end of the match, a confusion between the players. Now, the "time closed" between Vegetti and Wesley. But, unlike the last classic against Botafogo, the "let it go" people entered the action quickly and the confusion was not serious. In the stands of the Maracanã on the Vasco side, a small confusion with the fans, and the police took action. Fechou o tempo no finzinho do clássico entre Flamengo e Vasco, no Maracanã.Princípio de confusão entre Wesley e os jogadores do Vasco. Payet fez falta no lateral do Flamengo, que deu um toque de letra. — ge (@geglobo) February 16, 2025 With the victory, Flamengo reached 20 points and remained isolated in the lead of Cariocão 2025. Even though Volta Redonda (17 points) still plays on Sunday (16), the goal difference of 15 x 1 leaves the Rubro-Negro with "one hand" on the Taça Guanabara. Vasco, on the other hand, remained with 14 points and in fourth place. But, as Sampaio Corrêa (13 points), Nova Iguaçu (13 points), Maricá (12 points), and Fluminense (11 points) still play in the round, the Cross-and-Anchors may end up leaving the classification zone for the semifinals. Flamengo returns to the field next Saturday (22), when they host Maricá, at the Maracanã, in a match valid for the last round of Cariocão. Vasco, who ends their participation in this first phase of the state tournament by playing the classic against Botafogo, at São Januário, on Sunday (23), debuts in the Copa do Brasil next Tuesday (18), when they visit União Rondonópolis.
