The derby between Fluminense and Vasco held yesterday at Maracanã was marked by many fast plays, heated duels and excessive arguments, making it difficult to take your eyes off the match, although the technical quality of the football presented was not the highlight of the night.

Fluminense achieved the 1-0 victory with a goal by Lucho Acosta, overcoming strong pressure from Vasco especially in the first half. The tricolor team demonstrated composure in the decisive moments to secure the result.

With this result, Fluminense ended an uncomfortable streak of four games without beating rival Vasco. The team maintained its position in the G4 of the Brazilian Championship, securing a spot in the top positions of the table.

Vasco, on the other hand, remains in a delicate situation and ended the night once again in the relegation zone of the Brasileirão, highlighting the difficulties the club faces in the competition.

The Moroccan winger Hakim Ziyech had already recorded a presentation video at Botafogo and bought plane tickets to Brazil, but the deal fell through.
