During Flamengo's qualifying against Fluminense, last Saturday (16), the red and black fans sang several chants in provocation towards their rival. However, the match referee, Wagner do Nascimento Magalhães, understood that one of the songs chosen was homophobic, which led him to record the act in the summary of the duel valid for the semifinals of the Campeonato Carioca. This will be investigated and could still cause problems for Mais Querido.

< “What a joke, this rice powder. Tricolor v…, put on makeup and give the c… later”, this was the chant from Flamengo fans directed at their rivals. In 2022, Rubro-Negro received punishment for the same episode. On the occasion, also by Cariocão, rubro-negra board had to pay 20 thousand reais as punishment. Now, in 2024, the summary must be analyzed by the Prosecutor's Office of the Court of Sports Justice (TJD-RJ).

“I inform you that, in the 43rd minute of the second half, the Flamengo Clube de Regatas fans sang a homophobic song for 50 seconds in provocation to the Fluminense F.C. fans. It is worth noting that the stadium administration broadcast an educational message on the stadium's screens at the time the chant was taking place”, wrote Wagner do Nascimento, in the summary.

Historically, Fluminense fans tend to sing prejudiced songs against Flamengo. When the Laranjeiras club wins Mais Querido, the South sector of the stadium plays the song “silence in the favela”. Furthermore, the rivals have a rhyme on their playlist that says "you're a team of suckers and c..., p..., v... and a thief. Take it in the c..., Mengo."

However, with Flamengo's defeat in the semi-finals, and the tricolores' low presence at Maracanã, this time the songs were not heard. In the first leg, Rubro-Negro scored 2-0, without any scares. On the way back, Tite's team managed the result and held the score 0-0, guaranteeing their place in the final of the Campeonato Carioca.
