Flamengo's "tour" through Brazil's Northeast concluded on Wednesday (22).

And with it came the first victory for the Rubro-Negro in the Taça Guanabara of the Campeonato Carioca.

Playing once again at Castelão in São Luís, Flamengo triumphed over Bangu with a score of 5-0.

This marked their first win in the competition during the farewell of the alternative team.

It included a rival's expulsion within the first ten minutes and two goals from Carlinhos.

Expulsion and Hits on the Crossbar

Flamengo did what was expected of them: they controlled the game.

They gained an advantage on the field at eight minutes when Alex Moretti received a red card.

The mission became to break through a more defensive opponent.

Chances began to be created. Guilherme hit the crossbar, and Pablo struck the bar as well.

Bangu tried but was frustrated when VAR intervened, yet the referee did not award a penalty.

Flamengo Takes the Lead

The first goal for Flamengo came at the 41st minute. A counterattack that capitalized on goalkeeper Victor Brasil's mistake was finished by Felipe Teresa.

He had just entered the game three minutes prior to make Flamengo more offensive.

Rubro-Negro Dominance

Flamengo took advantage of the spaces after halftime.

They extended their lead at 53 minutes after Felipe Teresa combined with Carlinhos before setting up Wallace David.

The third goal came from Carlinhos (59') following another corner kick for Bangu that turned into a counterattack.

Completely unmarked, Guilherme scored the fourth (64').

And Carlinhos still had time to seize another opportunity to complete the rout at 84 minutes.
