Vasco channel has unexpected reaction to Flamengo goal in the derby | OneFootball

Carrascal scored a volley to beat Vasco’s goalkeeper Léo Jardim

Flamengo started 2026 just as it ended 2025: dominating. Thus, on Wednesday (21), even Vasco fans applauded the performance of Filipe Luís’ squad in the third round of the Campeonato Carioca. The winning goal by the red-and-black team was met with ovation.

That’s because Léo Jardim made at least four difficult saves, until Jorge Carrascal hit a spectacular volley to find the back of the net. Then, the members of the ‘Atenção, Vascaínos!’ channel literally applauded the play.

What did other Vasco fans think of the reaction?

It was expected that the majority of Vasco fans would disapprove of the scene during the channel’s broadcast. Thus, the main target of the insults was journalist Flávio Dias, who started the applause.

“Flávio Dias applauding and letting that red-and-black side that only a professional has show through,” said one viewer. “Why doesn’t the broadcaster just hand in his résumé to Fla TV?” asked another.

What’s next for Flamengo?

With Vasco humiliated, Flamengo now focuses on facing Fluminense on Sunday (25). For the derby, the red-and-black board will discuss whether the professional squad returns to the field or if the alternative team with the under-20s will represent Fla.

The fact is that the match will take place from 6 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Flamengo and Fluminense will face each other for the first time this year, with live broadcast by Rede Globo on free-to-air TV.
