The game
The Mais Querido took the court with Matheusinho, Magno, Rafael Rachel, Ruan, and Emanuel in the starting five. The first quarter was evenly matched, with both teams battling it out in the paint. In the final seconds of the period, Camargo, who played for the senior team last season, scored the basket that put the Rubro-Negro ahead: 18-17.
In the second quarter, Matheus Leoni, the club's new signing and one of the biggest names in youth basketball in Brazil, made his debut for the Manto Sagrado, playing the No. 1 position. As the period progressed, he switched to the No. 2 position, with Matheusinho providing the playmaking. The match continued back and forth, with the teams taking turns leading the scoreboard. Ruan stood out, with 10 points and six rebounds in the quarter. The Mais Querido went into halftime leading 43-37.
