Flamengo take drastic step over Palmeiras fans at the Maracanã | OneFootball

Flamengo did not allow beer sales in the visitor section during the game against Palmeiras

Flamengo and Palmeiras faced off last Sunday (19th), for the 29th round of the Brasileirão. Dominating the rival, the Most Beloved won 3-2, and the fans of the São Paulo team couldn't even drink to drown their sorrows, as Fla banned beer sales in the visitor section.

The action is uncommon, however, the Maracanã's press office confirmed that the decision came from Flamengo. The club, in turn, has not commented on the matter.

Why did Flamengo ban beer sales to Palmeiras fans?

Despite no official statement from Flamengo, the Coluna do Fla report found that the Rubro-Negro aims to provide more 'reciprocal' treatment at Maracanã.

After all, Flamengo fans frequently report mistreatment and unusual practices in away games.

Did the lack of alcohol affect Palmeiras fans?

With dry throats, it is possible that Palmeiras fans found it difficult to support the team at Maracanã. After all, for most of the time, only the Rubro-Negro fans made noise in the stadium.

What is the table situation after the Flamengo vs Palmeiras game?

With the Rubro-Negro's victory, Flamengo and Palmeiras are tied in points in the Brasileirão. Currently, both have 61 points. However, the São Paulo team leads due to having one more victory.

In the next round, the leadership will be contested again. Flamengo faces Fortaleza at Arena Castelão, while Palmeiras hosts Cruzeiro at Allianz Parque.

If the Alviverde loses, even a draw by Flamengo will be enough for the Most Beloved to return to the top of the Brasileirão table.
