In a game ahead of the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo and Vasco drew 4-4 on Wednesday night at Maracanã. Everton Ribeiro, Danilo Barcelos (own goal) and Bruno Henrique (twice) scored for the Mais Querido.

The game

Flamengo started the match at full speed, and within seconds of the match, Everton Ribeiro scored the first goal for Flamengo after a beautiful play by Reinier: 1-0. The game seemed to be under control for the "Mais Querido", but Vasco quickly turned the game around with Marrony and Yago Pikachu, from the penalty spot. Mengão equalized in the 49th minute. Rafinha received a free kick from Gabigol, hit a cross, and the ball went in with a deflection off Danilo Barcelos: 2-2. 

In the second half, Flamengo was once again surprised. Just six minutes in, Marcos Junior put Vasco ahead. But Mengão woke up and equalized with Bruno Henrique in the 20th minute, making it 3-3. In the 34th minute, Flamengo turned the tables. And once again, BH, Mister Clássicos, was on the scoresheet. After a beautiful play by Vitinho on the right, the ball fell to the star, who scored first time, making it 4-3. In the final minute of the game, however, Vasco de Gama equalized. Ribamar scored: 4-4.

And now?

Mengão returns to play on Sunday, against Grêmio, away from home, in the Brasileirão.
