This Sunday (first), in the second leg of the 2026 Carioca semi-finals, Fluminense and Vasco drew 0-0 in Maracana.
With less than five minutes left in the game, Canobbio was brought down by Caan Barros in the penalty area, giving the Tricolors a chance to open the score through a penalty kick.
The problem was that left-back Rene took one of the strangest penalties of the early season, but ended up kicking the ball wide.

The detail is that the 33-year-old has been at the club for one year and has never taken a penalty with the ball in Fluminense.
With a 1-0 win in the first leg, Fluminense only needed a draw to advance to the final.
Vasco needs to win by two goals to advance. If they win by just one goal, the spot will be decided via penalty kicks.
