However, tempers calmed down over time and the fans remained in the surroundings, even with the rain that began to fall in the stadium. So, the bus arrived at around 8 pm, being greeted with a beautiful party, full of red flags outside Maracanã.
The crowd’s intention was to stay at Gate 2 of the Maracanã to receive the delegation from the Fluminense with a kind of “human corridor”, to show all his support for the team. Even before the Tricolor squad got close to the stadium, some flares had already been lit. Last Monday, the 21st, the club announced on social networks some prohibitions for fans, including the use of objects as flares.
