Flamengo v Volta Redonda: Rubro-Negro end their unwanted streak | OneFootball

Volta Redonda defeated Flamengo at Estádio Raulino de Oliveira in the Campeonato Carioca

In 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the H1N1 flu a pandemic, Michael Jackson was found dead, and Flamengo conceded three goals to a less prominent team in the Campeonato Carioca. However, the last situation only repeated itself last Saturday (17).

Thus, the red-black defeat by 3-0 to Volta Redonda at Raulino de Oliveira ended a 17-year taboo. This is because, in 2009, the Most Beloved lost 3-1 to Resende and had not conceded three goals from a smaller team in the state championship since then.

How did Flamengo lose to Volta Redonda?

The under-20 red-black team once again represented Mengão in the Carioca. Thus, the young players almost opened the scoring, but Douglas Telles was offside. Subsequently, Carbone received a second yellow card, leaving the Most Beloved with one player less.

Then, Volta Redonda took advantage of the numerical advantage to score with MV, Bruno Barra, and Dener. The scoreline, however, could have been larger, but the referee disallowed two goals from the yellow and black team.

What is the situation in the Carioca?

In 2009, the 3-1 was overshadowed by the title in the final of the Carioca. In 2026, however, the Red-Black is at the bottom of Group B, which could prompt the early debut of the main team in the season.

This is because the next opponent is Vasco, this Wednesday (21), at Maracanã. Thus, some players from the 2025 champion squad may appear to avoid a possible third negative result in the state championship.
