After finishing second in the first half of the season, just two points behind Botafogo, the U-16 team, led by coach Ramón Lima, remains in contention for its second title and leads the second half of the Guilherme Embry Tournament, the category's State Championship, alongside Botafogo and Fluminense, with nine points from three games. This Wednesday's crucial derby will see one of the two teams maintain its lead in the second half. Botafogo hosts Portuguesa at CEFAT.
