📽 Flamengo beats Vasco in penultimate round of Cariocão 2025
In the Maracanã, Flamengo beat Vasco 2-0, on Saturday (15), in a match valid for the 10th and penultimate round of Cariocão 2025.
The Gávea team has not lost to their rival since 2023. Since then, there have been eight games of invincibility.

The first half was a true thrashing by the Rubro-Negro, who controlled the ball possession and had a lot of offensive volume.
The performance of the cross-and-anchor team, on the other hand, was embarrassing. They only defended with three volantes, had no offensive capability, and even in the "long ball" forward, they lost the first and second ball.
With Flamengo constantly attacking in search of the goal, goalkeeper Léo Jardim and striker Vegetti - two pillars of the Vasco team - argued harshly.

From so much pressure, Flamengo opened the scoring from a penalty.
Plata entered dribbling in the area and, when finishing, was touched by Zuccarello from behind. Bruno Henrique (30') - the King of Classics - kicked hard into the corner of Léo Jardim and opened the scoring for the Rubro-Negro.

Gonzalo Plata almost extended the lead with a header, after a bad mistake by Léo Jardim trying to cut off the cross from Varela, but the goal was disallowed due to offside by the Uruguayan full-back in the play.
The dominance of Flamengo was evident in the heat map of Vasco, all inside their defensive area.
After the interval, however, Vasco "appeared" for the Classic of the Millions.
Just five minutes in, Tchê Tchê unleashed a long-range shot and forced Rossi to defend.
The best cross-and-anchor chance came when Pumita Rodríguez crossed from the right sideline, and Vegetti (17') jumped higher than the entire Rubro-Negro defense. But the Argentine's header hit the crossbar of Rossi.
But after 20 minutes of the final stage, the Vasco's breath ended. And the quality of Flamengo made itself present.
Michael came out injured at 23 minutes, and Everton Cebolinha, who entered in his place, extended the lead at the end of the game, finishing perfectly from outside the area, in the corner of Léo Jardim.

Once again, at the end of the match, a confusion between the players. Now, the "time closed" between Vegetti and Wesley.
But, unlike the last classic against Botafogo, the "let it go" people entered the action quickly and the confusion was not serious.
In the stands of the Maracanã on the Vasco side, a small confusion with the fans, and the police took action.

With the victory, Flamengo reached 20 points and remained isolated in the lead of Cariocão 2025.
Even though Volta Redonda (17 points) still plays on Sunday (16), the goal difference of 15 x 1 leaves the Rubro-Negro with "one hand" on the Taça Guanabara.
Vasco, on the other hand, remained with 14 points and in fourth place.
But, as Sampaio Corrêa (13 points), Nova Iguaçu (13 points), Maricá (12 points), and Fluminense (11 points) still play in the round, the Cross-and-Anchors may end up leaving the classification zone for the semifinals.
Flamengo returns to the field next Saturday (22), when they host Maricá, at the Maracanã, in a match valid for the last round of Cariocão.
Vasco, who ends their participation in this first phase of the state tournament by playing the classic against Botafogo, at São Januário, on Sunday (23), debuts in the Copa do Brasil next Tuesday (18), when they visit União Rondonópolis.

Ichiro Suzuki steals show with witty Hall of Fame speech in English
COOPERSTOWN — Ichiro Suzuki stole the show with his nearly 20-minute speech, delivered in English. Long known to those around him for speaking English well, Ichiro always chose to speak publicly in Japanese, using an interpreter. Now a Hall of Famer, Ichiro chose Sunday to break out a witty speech in front of a crowd of thousands of fans wearing his No. 51 Mariners jersey. Advertisement Afterward, speaking in Japanese again following his speech, Ichiro said he 'always knew' he would deliver the speech in English, in hopes of letting his American fans understand it as well as possible. 5 Ichiro Suzuki delivers a nearly 20-minute speech in English at his Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post 'I played with him, so I knew he could do that,'' CC Sabathia said of Ichiro's speaking ability. 'It was good for people to get to know his personality and how hard he worked.' Advertisement Brian Cashman had a similar story, saying that when he traded for Ichiro in 2012, he and an interpreter spent over an hour on a phone call with Ichiro and his interpreter to explain what his role would be if he agreed to come to the Yankees. 'It took forever,'' Cashman said. A week later, Cashman introduced himself to Ichiro in person in The Bronx and was surprised. 5 Ichiro Suzuki jokes with fellow Hall of Famers Derek Jeter and Cal Ripken Jr. before his speech. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Advertisement 5 Billy Wagner and Ichiro Suzuki chat during their Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post 5 Ichiro Suzuki's wife, Yumiko Fukushima, watches her husband be inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post 'He responded by speaking better English than I did,'' Cashman said. Ichiro, in addition to thanking the Mariners and their fans, as well as his Orix team in Japan that let him come to the majors in 2001, also fondly recalled his time with the Yankees from 2012-14. Advertisement 'I enjoyed my two-and-a-half years in pinstripes and to get to experience the great leadership of Derek Jeter and the organization's proud touch,' Ichiro said. Billy Wagner said he'd been preparing his Hall of Fame speech 'for about 10 years' while waiting to get inducted. He finally got his chance Sunday, when the lefty became the first left-handed reliever to be enshrined in the Hall, in part thanks to his three-plus years with the Mets. 5 Billy Wagner shows off his new Hall of Fame ring. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post And while he's most remembered for his years in Houston — where his first manager was Terry Collins in 1995 and '96 — he noted the role his time in Queens played in his path to Cooperstown. But he also praised the Mets and their former owners, the Wilpons. Advertisement 'For a small-town guy like me, going to a big city, Fred Wilpon and his son, Jeff, and the Mets organization made it easy to come to the field and compete,' Wagner said. 'Because I got to ride in [to the ballpark] with Tom Glavine. They always had a great team surrounding me and that helped me reach this stage today.' Wagner noted that he and Whitey Ford are the only pitchers in the Hall of Fame who are shorter than 6 feet tall. He also noted that he is the only pitcher from a Division III college (Ferrum College) to get to Cooperstown. 'I'm from a very small part of southwest Virginia,'' Wagner said. 'To grow up in a small, rural area, this isn't something you think about.' Advertisement Dave Parker died in June at age 74. He had been preparing a speech for his induction and his son, Dave II, spoke on his behalf. The late Dick Allen's wife, Willa, also spoke on her husband's behalf. … Sandy Koufax, the oldest living Hall of Famer at age 89, was in attendance. … The start of the ceremony was delayed by an hour due to inclement weather. There were an estimated 30,000 fans in attendance.

Lacked cutting edge... Inter set record for shots but only manage a draw
Internacional had volume, but failed to turn it into a win against Vasco on Sunday (27). According to Opta data, Colorado finished 27 times, its highest mark in the tournament since August 2016, when they attempted 30 shots in a match against São Paulo. Was the insistence worth it? Not really. Despite the high number of attempts, Inter scored only one goal. Most of the shots came from outside the box or in unfavorable conditions. There was a lack of precision in the choices and efficiency in the execution. The draw frustrates the fans, mainly due to the dominance on the field and the revived offensive history after almost nine years. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
