Flamengo storms Vasco with commanding win

Pedro's brace and Samuel Lino's double secure a dominant 4-1 victory away from home.

Flamengo put on a clinical display at Vasco DA Gama, racing ahead with an early goal from Pedro before Vasco briefly levelled through A. Lescano. However, Pedro's second before half-time and two second-half strikes from Samuel Lino sealed a convincing 4-1 win. This result defied Fipster's low-confidence prediction of a narrow Vasco victory, turning the expected upset on its head.
