Based on the stats, Flu hit back at Botafogo: Respect your elders | OneFootball

Fluminense beat Botafogo 2-0 at Maracanã, ending a long drought of 9 derbies without a win.

Glorioso had racked up one draw and eight straight wins since 2022, and had "grown tired" of taunting their most traditional rival on social media.

But this Sunday (28), the Tricolor das Laranjeiras returned the banter and presented numbers to "back up" the teasing.

After all, over the course of 120 years of the derby, Fluminense has won 144 times, while Botafogo has triumphed in 133 matches. There have also been 118 draws.
