Flamengo thrash Vitória: biggest win in the Brasileirão points era | OneFootball

Flamengo's victory over Vitória on the last Monday night, at Maracanã, became the biggest win in the history of the Brazilian Championship in the running points. The Rio team won the opponent by 8 to 0.

Before the match, the biggest goal difference between one team and another in a single game in the running points was seven goals. In the 2003 edition, Goiás and Cruzeiro beat Juventude and Bahia, respectively, by 7 to 0. The following year, São Paulo thrashed Paysandu by the same score.

Despite becoming the biggest win in the history of running points, Flamengo's victory is not the biggest in the Brazilian Championship. This record remains with Corinthians, who thrashed Tiradentes-PI by 10 to 1, in 1983, when the competition adopted another model.

The thrashing is the fourth of Filipe Luís' team in the current edition of the national league. The team also thrashed Juventude by 6 to 0, Corinthians by 4 to 0, and Fortaleza by 5 to 0.

Pedro (3), Samuel Lino (2), Arrascaeta, Luiz Araújo, and Bruno Henrique scored the goals for Rubro-Negro in the match, valid for the 21st round. Flamengo leads the Brazilian Championship with 46 points, four more than vice-leader Palmeiras.

Flamengo's next game

The Rio team hopes to maintain the good moment next Sunday, when they host Grêmio at Maracanã. The duel, valid for the 22nd round, is scheduled for 16h (Brasília time).
