Both of them Vitor Roque's — 8.54
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.54, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Flamengo make home a hard place to visit
11 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Vitor Roque the difference as Flamengo beat Goiás
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Vitor Roque. 2‑0 against Goiás, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Flamengo promote Carlos Borges from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Carlos Borges has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Flamengo promote Chefe from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Chefe has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Tanque steps up from the Flamengo academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Tanque has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Marcos Assis joins the Flamengo first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Marcos Assis is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
