Flamengo did what was expected of them on Saturday night (25).

And guaranteed the conquest of the 25th Taça Guanabara in their history.

Playing at Maracanã, the Rubro-Negro got past Maricá.

Gérson, Léo Ortiz, Arrascaeta, Luiz Araújo, and Matheus Gonçalves secured the 5-0 win.

The result consecrated the first position for Filipe Luís' team.

And another trophy for the former left-back.

Fla opened a 12 Taça Guanabaras advantage over Vasco, the second biggest winner.

Immediate control ⚫🔴

The Flamengo treated the game with seriousness from the first minute.

Filipe Luís didn't even preserve the suspended Varela, Léo Ortiz, and BH27.

And his team did what was expected of them: controlled the actions.

The goal was to find spaces against a well-closed rival - who couldn't pose a threat.

Gérson was the one to beat Dida at 17'.

Shortly after, Cebolinha left the game with pain in his right thigh - causing concern.

Dominant, Fla didn't lower the intensity. And expanded with Léo Ortiz (26').

Without taking foot off the gas 🔥

Rossi was a luxury spectator.

Flamengo didn't hold back in the second half.

Kept "hungry".

And the expected rout came.

Arrascaeta expanded after a beautiful attack started from the right (57').

Luiz Araújo maintained his great moment with a beautiful goal (59').

But it was Matheus Gonçalves who scored the most beautiful goal of the night (83') after a beautiful exchange of passes and plenty of quality in the finish - leaving Arrascaeta "in disbelief".

And now❓

Flamengo reached 23 points and a goal difference of 20.

Volta Redonda stopped at 20 after the defeat to Boavista.

Now, the Rubro-Negro awaits their rival in the semis.

Will have the advantage of playing for two equal results - draws or win and loss with the same difference - to reach the decision.

Meanwhile, Maricá, a debutant in the state elite, didn't succeed in reaching the Taça Rio.

Ends their participation with 12 points. It's tenth, but can still be overtaken by Portuguesa.

Now focuses on Série D and Copa Rio - a tournament they won in 2024 and guaranteed them in the Fourth Division.
