At Maracanã, Fluminense and Vasco are tied 0-0 this Sunday (1st), in the second leg of the Cariocão 2026 semifinals.
Before five minutes had passed, the Tricolor das Laranjeiras had the chance to open the score with a penalty, after Canobbio was brought down by Cauan Barros in the box.
The problem is that left-back Renê took the most bizarre penalty kick of this early season and ended up sending it wide.
The detail is that the 33-year-old player, who has been at the club for a year, had never taken a penalty with the ball in play for Fluminense.
Since they won the first leg 1-0, Fluminense only needs a draw to advance to the final.
Vasco needs to win by two goals to qualify. If they win by just one goal, the spot will be decided by penalties.
