Over the coming weeks we'll be giving you the run down on the World's most passionate and
fiercest rivalry in football. We start our list with two Brazilian giants.
History Known as ‘Fla-Flu' this is Brazil's most passionate rivalry, dating back to 1911 when 9
Fluminense players quit the club to form Flamengo, which at the time was just a rowing club, any

The 13th round of Campeonato Brasileiro was all about black and white. Atletico-MG and
Corinthians were the ones who benefited the most from the midweek round. The two clubs won at home
by 2-1 and watched direct rivals losing important points.
In Belo Horizonte, Atletico beat Fluminense, who had the 5th debut of coach Renato Gaucho.
After the 10th round of Campeonato Brasileiro, Atletico-MG returned to the top after the 3-0
victory in the Belo Horizonte derby. Besides the pathetic red card by Cruzeiro's Ze Carlos, the men
of the match were veteran Junior and forward Eder Luis - even though in his goal goalie Andrey gave
a big help.
