Fluminense hosted São Paulo, on Thursday night (27), and won 6-0, at Maracanã, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), in the 36th round of the Brazilian Championship.
In addition to the hosts, the hosts secured a historic feat.
The result guaranteed Flu’s biggest victory in the match, surpassing the 7-2, also at Maracanã, in the 1960 Rio-São Paulo Tournament.
Furthermore, it equaled the biggest advantage of the duel, returning the 6-0 that the São Paulo team had achieved in the 2002 Brasileirão, at Morumbi, in São Paulo (SP).
Furthermore, Hernán Crespo’s team was still close to suffering the biggest defeat in the history of the Brasileirão.
The worst was the 7-1 against Vasco, in 2001, in São Januário — a result that represents the biggest defeat suffered by the tricolors in the 21st century.
Flu’s 6-0 victory is so overwhelming that it almost became the biggest victory suffered by São Paulo in history.
In 1940, at Rio-São Paulo, Botafogo won 8-1 at Laranjeiras.
