The end of Sunday and the beginning of the week for fans of Flamengo tastes like chocolate. This is because the red and black team simply didn't take notice of Vasco and delivered a resounding 6-1 rout to their rival, who didn't have the strength to play on equal terms with Fla. Furthermore, Arrascaeta broke his fast and scored again with the red and black shirt.SUMMARY
The Classic started in droves at Maracanã. High intensity from start to finish, but with a change of dominance that ended up being decisive in building the score. Vasco started the best, betting on Payet's talent, Rayan's speed and Vegetti's finishing power. In the first cross-Maltina finish, the Argentine hit a beautiful volley to open the scoring. Then, he had two other chances to expand. He failed and still saw Flamengo react. From the feet of Everton Cebolinha, came the best plays. The number 11 equalized and even gave a beautiful assist for Pedro, with his chest, to turn it around. At the end, the game got really complicated for Vasco and ended up being very difficult for Flamengo. After a corner kick, Cebolinha (again) set up David Luiz to hit a beautiful volley and score the third. To make things even worse for the Vasco fans, João Victor was sent off just before half-time.
The second stage started the way the first ended. Flamengo's intensity and after 5 minutes the goal became real. That's because Pedro has a beautiful control and takes a touch over Vasco's defense to leave Arrascaeta facing the goal. He takes a touch to take out Léo Jardim and score Flamengo's fourth goal. Tite made changes to the team and they worked. So much so that Fla's fifth came off the bench. Arrascaeta came out scribbling, passed one, two and rolled for Bruno Henrique to hit with skill to score the fifth.
After BH's goal, Flamengo lowered the ball a little, already with a Vasco who just I followed the protocol of staying on the field and waiting for the game to end. Even so, there was still room for one more. After being booed, insulted, involved in controversy and experiencing his worst moment at the club, the now number 99 Gabigol, finally scores and celebrates by kissing the shield, being applauded by the fans present at Maracanã.
With that, Vasco 1x6 Flamengo was the final score.
And now?
With the victory, Fla takes the lead in the Brasileirão. This is because it reaches 14 points and surpasses Botafogo, second placed, which has 13. In this sense, the red-and-black team, under the command of Tite, returns to the field on the 13th, also at Maracanã to face Grêmio.
