Based on the stats, Flu hit back at Botafogo: Respect your elders

Fluminense defeated Botafogo 2-0 at Maracanã, ending a long drought of 9 classic matches without a win.

The Glorious had accumulated one draw and eight consecutive victories since 2022, and "got tired" of provoking their most traditional rival on social media.

But this Sunday (28), the Tricolor from Laranjeiras returned the provocations and presented numbers to "support" the banter. 

After all, over the 120 years of the classic, Fluminense won 144 times, and Botafogo triumphed in 133 games. There were also 118 draws.
