Fortaleza fan abuses alleged Flamengo fans before Brasileirão match | OneFootball

According to Fortaleza fans, a person born in the northeast should not support Flamengo

The intolerance of Fortaleza fans came into play this Saturday (25). A supporter of the northeastern team ranted, cursed, and pointed her finger in the face of two people without the home team's uniform who were supposedly Flamengo fans.

The incident follows a campaign that Fortaleza fans created days before the match against Flamengo to expel fans of the Rubro-Negro. The movement suggests that a person from Ceará should not support a team from outside.

Why did the Fortaleza fan attack the supposed Rubro-Negros?

Before the match between Flamengo and Fortaleza at Arena Castelão, a fan of the home team felt entitled to intimidate two people dressed in black in the home team's stands. The woman raised her voice, cursed, and pointed her finger in the face of a father and son.

Why hostility towards Flamengo fans?

The moment reignites the debate about the hatred Flamengo fans have been receiving in the Northeast. Thus, Fortaleza fans call the Rubro-Negros "mixed" because they support more than one team.

Soon, other videos from the game show supposed Flamengo fans being removed from the Fortaleza area by police, who monitored the stands. Thus, pockets of confusion emerged.

And what about the game?

Flamengo lost to Fortaleza 1-0 in the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship. The Rubro-Negro performed poorly, while Breno Lopes took advantage of his opportunity to score.

What is Flamengo's next game?

Flamengo faces Racing (ARG) on Wednesday (29) in Argentina for the return leg of the Libertadores semifinals. The match takes place from 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with broadcast by Rede Globo on open channel and GE TV on YouTube.
