History
Flamengo and São Paulo play one of Brazil's greatest interstate derbies, drawing two massive fan bases. Flamengo has the advantage in head-to-head matches, with 50 wins to the Rubro-Negro's 39. There have also been 35 draws throughout their history.
In October 2009, in the final stretch of the Brazilian championship, the teams faced off at the Maracanã. As part of the run that would lead to their sixth Brazilian championship, the "Mais Querido" defeated the "Tricolor" 2-1. In the absence of Adriano, who would be the championship's top scorer, Petkovic and Zé Roberto put in strong performances and decided the match for the "Rubro-Negro."
