Fluminense secured a 4-1 comeback victory against Vasco da Gama on Saturday, October 31, 2026, during the second round of the Campeonato Carioca Feminino at CEFAN. After conceding an early goal and facing an early opponent red card, the Tricolor bounced back behind a brace from Sochor and goals from Cacau and Pelé.
Early Red Card and Vasco Opening Goal
The match turned eventful early in the first half when Vasco goalkeeper Maria Alyce received a red card in the seventh minute following a foul on Carioca just outside the penalty area. Raquel took the resulting direct free kick, but missed wide. Despite being a player down, Vasco capitalized in the 13th minute when Lourdes González opened the scoring. The midfielder had another chance in the 19th minute, but the goalkeeper stood firm. Moments later, Carioca sent a long-range effort over the crossbar.

Second-Half Comeback Led by Sochor
Fluminense shifted the momentum immediately after the break. Just two minutes into the second half, Sochor pounced on a loose ball to equalize. The pressure continued as Raquel tested the Vasco defense again in the 4th minute. In the 17th minute, Sorriso drove a cross into the box that the opposing goalkeeper parried, allowing Sochor to rifle in the rebound for her second goal of the morning. Cacau extended the lead to 3-1 in the 34th minute after receiving a pass from Raquel inside the area. Three minutes later, Sochor set up Pelé on the right flank, and the number 7 drove a cross-shot past the keeper to cap the 4-1 scoreline.

With the win, Fluminense climbed to four points after two matches, moving to the top of Group B in the state tournament. Vasco remained on three points following the defeat. The derby also featured a second red card, with Lidy dismissed in the second half for the Cruz-Maltino.
