The game
The derby began with both teams closely studying each other. Flamengo moved the ball forward, looking for space in the Tricolor defense. In the 16th minute, Tallyson made a good individual play, took the ball to his right foot, and risked a shot. The goalkeeper made the save. In stoppage time, Tallyson crossed into the six-yard box and Joshua headed it powerfully, but the goalkeeper made a good save, sending it out for a corner. The teams went into halftime with the score at XNUMX-XNUMX.

The match remained fiercely contested in the second half, with intense competition for possession. In the 10th minute, Tallyson received the ball on the left and took a shot from the middle of the field. The ball drifted and narrowly missed going in. Joshua then won the challenge, entered the box, and was brought down. The referee awarded a penalty. David stepped up to take the kick and only just displaced the goalkeeper to open the scoring in Laranjeiras: 0-1.

Mengão continued to press in search of a second goal. In the 30th minute, Lucas Vieira received the ball in the box, turned, and shot hard at the Tricolor goalkeeper, who put it out for a corner.

Then, in the 39th minute, the Mais Querido extended their lead! Bidu, who came on in the second half, received the ball on the left, cut inside, and struck a powerful shot from the edge of the box. The ball went into the corner, leaving the Tricolor goalkeeper with no chance: 0-2.
