There are only 13 visits in history - enough for a long list of great moments. This Sunday (18), Flamengo returns to the Kleber Andrade stadium, in Cariacica-ES, to face Boavista in the final of the Guanabara Cup. In the city of Espírito Santo, the Mais Querido experienced great moments in 2016, when it had a 100% success rate in matches for the Brazilian Championship.

The story began in 1995, with a loss to Cruzeiro. Despite the bitter beginning, the Mais Querido would only lose another match in Cariacica 21 years later.

The following year, a victory over Linhares-ES in the Copa do Brasil, followed by a long hiatus. 19 years passed before the red-and-black team returned to Kleber Andrade Stadium. In 2015, in a friendly against Desportiva Ferroviária-ES, the Mais Querido won 4-0. The positive atmosphere there was a harbinger of what would happen in 2016.

Two years ago, Maracanã was closed for the Rio Olympics, and Cariacica welcomed Flamengo with open arms. Eight games were played at the Kleber Andrade Stadium—six in the Brazilian Championship and two in the CONMEBOL South American Championship. Epic victories and impressive comebacks propelled Flamengo into the fight for top spots in every championship.

For example, games like the 3-1 victory over Figueirense, which sealed qualification from the CONMEBOL South American Championship after a 4-2 defeat in the first leg, are unforgettable. Also unforgettable are the hard-fought comeback against Cruzeiro, achieved in the final minutes with goals from Mancuello and Guerrero.

Overall, there are 13 games - nine wins, two draws and only two defeats.

After two draws in 2017, Mais Querido returns to Cariacica to seek the first trophy of the 2018 season: the Guanabara Cup.
