Fluminense holds pressure from Flamengo and breaks fast in the state

by

Fluminense put an end this Saturday (2) to a long fast that bothered the fans of the tricolor. At the Maracanã stadium, the team held back Flamengo’s pressure and won the Campeonato Carioca again.

After winning the first leg, 2-0, they sought a 1-1 draw and returned to celebrate winning the cup after almost 10 years. Since 2012, Flu has not won the state championship. That year, he would also win the Campeonato Brasileiro, months later, in one of the most successful seasons in the club’s history.

Interestingly, Abel Braga also commanded the tricolor carioca that year, in which the team had names like Deco, Thiago Neves, Wellington Nem and Fred.

This time, despite having built a good advantage in the first leg, Fluminense once again left their fans apprehensive, when Flamengo opened the scoring, with Gabigol, in the 29th minute of the first half.

Before the break, however, Germán Cano, who had scored both goals in the first leg, hit the net again and left everything the same.

In the final stage, the striker had the chance to score his fourth goal in the decision, but missed a penalty in the 17th minute. To his relief, the mistake did not compromise the tricolor conquest.

Before the end of the match, there was a confusion on the field and two players were sent off. Fred, from Fluminense, and Bruno Henrique, from Flamengo. Supporters of the red-black team also threw plastic cups in the direction of the rival striker.

The last time had been in the idol Reinaldo’s generation, when the club won the tournament consecutively in 1978, 1979 and 1980. But the sequence at that time was even greater, with the titles of 1981, 1982 and 1983.

The championship decision marked the return of the supporters divided 50% by 50% in Mineirão, which received an audience of 53,572 fans.

At the end of the match, the Atlético fans still provoked the Cruzeirenses by the fact that, once again, the celestial team will play in the Series B of the Brazilian Championship this year.
