Ex-Vasco player in tears over Copa do Brasil loss to Flamengo | OneFootball

What did Douglas say about the play in the Flamengo vs Vasco match in the 2014 Carioca?

Former midfielder Douglas was part of the Vasco squad that finished as runners-up to Flamengo in the Carioca 2014. Even after more than 12 years, the former athlete lamented losing the title to Rubro-Negro.

In a chat with ‘Lucas Tilty’, the influencer asked Douglas which runner-up finish was the most painful. Right away, the former midfielder replied: “In 2014, that final between Vasco and Flamengo, that one really hurt me.”

During the influencer’s show on YouTube, the former player commented again about the decision: “I didn’t see the ball go into the goal, the wall was right in front of me. Even today, people still send me that play.”

HOW WAS THE FINAL BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND VASCO IN THE 2014 CARIOCA?

Flamengo and Vasco played the final of the Campeonato Carioca 2014 at Maracanã. In the derby, the São Januário team opened the scoring and had the chance to extend their lead with a free kick from Douglas, which is still debated to this day.

On that occasion, Douglas’s shot raised doubts among the referees as to whether the ball had gone in or not. However, after much protest from the Vasco players, referee Marcelo de Lima Henrique did not award the goal. In the end, Flamengo ended up winning the match 2-1 at Maracanã.
