Rizek praises Vasco fans: “They were brilliant in the stands too”

The journalist André Rizek from SporTV praised the performance of the Vasco da Gama fans after the classic match against Fluminense, held last Monday (20th) at the Maracanã. The team from Vasco won against their rival by 2-0, and according to Rizek, the support from the stands played a fundamental role in the result.

During the program “Seleção SporTV,” the commentator highlighted the strength of Vasco's fans in the stands and the massive presence of supporters in the stadium.

“I wanted to give a shout-out to Vasco's fans. The clubs had agreed on divided support, and of the 50,000 people who went to Maracanã yesterday, at most 15,000 were Fluminense supporters. Vasco was great in the stands too. Impressive Vasco fans,” stated Rizek.

The atmosphere created by Vasco fans was one of the most talked-about points on social media after the classic. Images of the celebration in the stands, with large flags, chants, and flares, went viral among fans, who celebrated the team's good phase under the command of Fernando Diniz.

With the result, Vasco maintained their momentum in the season and reinforced the home factor — even playing at Maracanã — as a differential. The fans, once again, showed they are an essential part of the club's reconstruction.
