Vitor Roque provokes Flamengo's midfielder after Palmeiras' victory at Maracanã
Forward Vitor Roque provoked Flamengo's Jorge Carrascal after Palmeiras' 3-0 victory on Saturday night (23), at Maracanã, in the 17th round of the Brazilian Championship. The midfielder was sent off in the first half of the duel.
Through Instagram stories, Alviverde's number 9 shared the result of the confrontation with the song "Dizeres", by Lourena and Sant. The song gained popularity recently due to a meme with the expression "Papo de undaiá". When reacting to a move by Carrascal, narrator Jerdinho JC gave rise to the meme.
Vitor Roque did not play in the match as he is still recovering from an injury to his left ankle. The striker suffered a ligament injury (in the syndesmosis) during a match against Jacuipense, in the Copa do Brasil, and the expectation is that he will only return to the pitch after the World Cup. The 21-year-old has six goals and one assist in 18 games in the 2026 season.

Palmeiras' next match is next Thursday (28), against Junior Barranquilla, in a decisive game for the Copa Libertadores. Coach Abel Ferreira's team could come first in its group, second or not even qualify for the round of 16 of the continental competition.
