Flamengo draw second-worst crowd of the year in 8-0 thrashing of Madureira | OneFootball

Carioca Semifinal between Flamengo and Madureira saw a red-and-black rout by 8-0

Flamengo is through to the final of the Carioca. However, this spot in the final does not erase the poor start to the season that the Most Beloved has had. Thus, as a form of protest, some fans stayed away from Maracanã for the rout against Madureira on Monday (02).

This is because the Red-and-Black had the second lowest attendance this year, with 25,059 present at the second leg of the semifinal of the Campeonato Carioca. The number of fans was only higher than the first leg against Madureira itself, when 22,730 people were at the stadium.

And what about Flamengo's biggest crowd of the year?

In the Supercopa Rei, 71,244 people watched the clash between Flamengo and Corinthians. However, the Most Beloved was defeated and lost the first title of the season on that occasion. Thus, the red-and-black crisis began.

How did Flamengo rout Madureira?

Lucas Paquetá scored twice, Jean Vianna netted an own goal, and Pedro made it 4-0 in the first half. Then, the striker continued the show in the second half with three more goals, while Samuel Lino closed out the score for Madureira.

What is the next match?

With Fluminense keeping an eye on possible changes at Flamengo, the Most Beloved awaits Sunday (08) for the big state final. The ball will roll from 6pm (Brasília time) at Maracanã, with full coverage by Coluna do Fla.
