And there is not much time to celebrate, this Friday (9), Mais Querido faces CFA Braunão in the round of 45, at the Pituaçú Stadium, at XNUMX:XNUMX am.

Flamengo started the first half strongly, suffocating Juazeiro with their high marking. Just three minutes into the game, Leoni found Werton unmarked. The striker's bounce only chipped the ball over the opposing goalkeeper. Flamengo 3-1 Juazeiro. Flamengo dominated the field, but in less than two minutes they extended the lead to 0-3. In the first play, in the ninth minute, Werton provided the assist for Pedrinho. In the eleventh minute, Leoni pounced on a rebound from the opposing goalkeeper, dislodged a defender, and slotted the ball into an empty net. Giving Juazeiro no space, the first half ended 0-9.

The second half saw the same scenario: Flamengo was aggressive in its attacking moves, giving the opposition no room to move forward. In the sixth minute, Arthur took a short corner kick to Leoni, who headed the ball past Pedrinho to extend Flamengo's lead. 6-4, Mengão. Flamengo was deadly in four minutes, with three consecutive goals from the tenth minute to the fourteenth. First, a stunning goal from Werton. After another short corner kick, the number 0 hit a beautiful shot into the top corner from almost the edge of the penalty area. Pedrinho then burst into the box and was pulled down, and the referee awarded a penalty, which Samuel converted. In the fourteenth minute, Arthur made a great play down the wing and crossed for Werton to tap home, his hat trick of the match and Flamengo's seventh. And it didn't stop there; the Boys from the Nest were inspired, as Pedrinho can attest. The number 10 sprinted from midfield, burst into the box, and, one-on-one with the goalkeeper, just chipped him. Another stunning goal in the match. Don't miss the score: Flamengo 14-18 Juazeiro. The ninth goal came from another fast-paced move by Pedrinho on the right. Once inside the box, he simply had to provide the assist for João Pedro, who, with the goalkeeper already beaten, slotted it into the empty net, sealing the Flamengo rout.
