Remo visits Maracanã to play against Flamengo in the Brasileirão

In 2003, the war between the United States and Iraq was beginning, the Lord of the Rings trilogy was coming to an end with ‘The Return of the King,’ and Flamengo still had only one Libertadores title. That was the state of the world the last time Remo and the Rubro-Negro played at Maracanã.

And did Flamengo beat Remo in 2003 at Maracanã?

The Rubro-Negro hosted the club from Belém for the first leg of the Round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. In a packed Maracanã, striker Jean ‘Tô doido’ scored twice, debutant Vinícius Merij extended the lead, and there were even rare scenes: Vasco idol Felipe scored wearing the Sacred Mantle.

Thus, the Most Beloved traveled to Belém do Pará with a four-goal advantage. The opponent fought hard, scored twice, but Fla responded with goals from Jean, Cássio, and Felipe. Therefore, the Rio club advanced without major scares.
