It was a Sunday of great joy for the World's Biggest Fanbase. Flamengo put on a convincing performance, defeating Santa Cruz 3-0 at Pacaembu Stadium. In addition to the three points in the Brasileirão standings, Flamengo surpassed a 36-year-old record and achieved its longest winning streak as a home team in the history of the Brazilian Championship.

In the year of its first national title, Flamengo achieved, in home games, a streak of seven games without a single draw. With all games taking place at Maracanã, Flamengo defeated Palmeiras (6-2), Bangu (2-1), Santa Cruz (2-1), Desportiva Ferroviária (3-0), Santos (2-0), Coritiba (4-3) and Atlético-MG (3-2).

In the ensuing match, with Flamengo scoring 22 goals, Zico emerged as the top scorer, scoring nine times. Nunes wasn't far behind, scoring six goals. Tita (twice), Toninho Baiano, Andrade, Júlio César Uri Geller, Carlos Alberto, and Anselmo (once each) also scored for the Mais Querido.

The year 2016 brought the setback of the Maracanã stadium being closed for the Rio Olympic Games. Flamengo decided to showcase its national appeal and play in several Brazilian states. With the support of the Red-Black Nation, it made the entire country its home. The new milestone was achieved in three stadiums, in three different states.

The nine victories began against Internacional in June at the Kléber Andrade stadium, when Ederson's goal was the only goal in a 1-0 victory.

In July, Flamengo traveled to the capital to host Atlético-MG. The Mané Garrincha stadium witnessed two goals from Felipe Vizeu.

Back at Kléber Andrade Stadium in Cariacica, the next victim was another Minas Gerais club: América-MG. Guerrero opened the scoring, Alan Patrick converted a penalty, and the "Mais Querido" won 2-0.

In August, Atlético-PR, a rival from the red and black team, went to the Kléber Andrade stadium and also failed to impose itself on the nation. A stunning goal from Mancuello secured the victory and gave the Mais Querido a taste of leadership, albeit provisional.

The next match, against Grêmio, besides being part of Flamengo's nine-game winning streak as the home team, brought two other important milestones. The Mané Garrincha stadium was the stage for midfielder Diego's debut. On that occasion, the scoring was opened by Leandro Damião, who had a stunning bicycle kick goal disallowed, but converted a penalty to score Flamengo's 12th goal. Debutant Diego also scored, and Flamengo won 2-1.

Flamengo's home in Espírito Santo saw two beautiful goals against Ponte Preta. Gabriel and Fernandinho scored, securing their sixth consecutive home win.

The 80s record was equaled on an afternoon of celebration and on an unusual stage. Accustomed to hosting matches by São Paulo's biggest teams, the Pacaembu stadium was packed to see Flamengo defeat Figueirense 2-0, with goals from Willian Arão and Diego.

There couldn't have been a more exciting way to break a Flamengo record under Zico and company. The Kléber Andrade stadium was packed for the fifth consecutive time when Flamengo hosted Cruzeiro. In a hard-fought match, the Minas Gerais team opened the scoring in the second half. But stunning goals from Guerrero and Mancuello gave Flamengo its eighth consecutive home win in the 2016 Brasileirão.

The final match of the sequence was a rout. Once again at Pacaembu, Flamengo faced Santa Cruz as the visiting team. And they didn't let up. With goals from Felipe Vizeu, Willian Arão, and Marcelo Cirino, they made it 3-0 and sent the nation into a frenzy.
