— Just stopping by to thank Fluminense. Thank you for the deliverance. I was born in '88, after Cocada's goal, the last final we won against Flamengo. I never saw Vasco beat Flamengo in a final. We were runners-up in '96, '99, 2000. And if Vasco went to the final with this Flamengo team, we would have gotten our a*—, he said, before finishing:

— In 2001, Vasco's anthem was already playing, we could lose by one goal, we scored 1-0, we had to concede three, almost impossible, and we managed to concede three. In 2004, we were runners-up, three goals from Jean. Jean scored four goals in his life, three were against Vasco in that game. In 2006 we lost the Copa do Brasil, 2014, 2011, Carioca. 75 runner-ups. There's no way —, the fan concluded.

How was the Carioca semifinal between Fluminense and Vasco?

Fluminense won the first leg of the semifinal 1-0, with a goal from Kevin Serna. In the second leg, Vasco even took the lead, with Robert Renan. However, the São Januário team conceded the equalizer in the final minutes, after a penalty kick by Ganso.

What is Flamengo's situation in the Carioca semifinal?

Flamengo goes into the second leg with an advantage to advance to the final of the Carioca. After all, in the first leg, Mengo beat Madureira 3-0, with goals from De La Cruz, Arrascaeta and Luiz Araújo. Thus, the Rubro-Negro can lose by up to two goals and will still secure a spot in the State Championship final.

When do Flamengo and Madureira face each other?

In search of a spot in the Carioca final, Flamengo and Madureira will face each other again at 9pm (Brasília time) this Monday (02), at Maracanã. In addition, the State Championship final will take place next Sunday (08), at the ‘Sacred Temple’.

Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Madureira, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca match.
