Overview
- The defeat came at Raulino de Oliveira on Saturday in the Taça Guanabara stage of the Campeonato Carioca.
- Flamengo’s Carbone was sent off around the 10th minute after two yellow cards for fouls on Ygor Catatau, leaving his team with ten players.
- MV put Volta Redonda ahead in the first half, with Rafael Castro and Dener adding second‑half goals, while two Catatau finishes were ruled offside after VAR review.
- Flamengo used a youth‑heavy lineup coached by under‑20 manager Bruno Pivetti instead of the main squad.
- Flamengo stays on one point from three matches in Group B’s relegation zone as Volta Redonda reaches six points to lead Group A, and reporting indicates Pivetti will guide the side versus Vasco and Fluminense before Filipe Luís’ first team debuts Jan. 28 at São Paulo.
