In a classic match between Brazil's biggest fan bases, Corinthians defeated Flamengo and advanced to the quarterfinals of the São Paulo Junior Football Cup. At the Major Levy Sobrinho Stadium on Friday night (January 17.01), Jajá opened the scoring for the "Mais Querido" (Most Beloved), but the São Paulo team scored twice in the second half and secured the victory. The Rubro-Negro (Red-Black) bids farewell to the competition with only one loss in five games.
In the first half, Flamengo was the better and more dangerous. Thus, the 1-0 scoreline in favor of the "Mais Querido" ended up being fair. The red-and-black goal came in the ninth minute.

At halftime, Jajá was confident of qualifying. "The game is going well. Thank God, I had the opportunity and scored. The missed chances may be regrettable, but Cleber dos Santos will correct whatever is wrong so we can emerge victorious and advance to the next stage," he said.
In the second half, Corinthians came out on top and sealed their victory. São Paulo's number 10, Zé Paulo, scored twice to secure the comeback. Despite the red-and-black players' determination, Flamengo was unable to equalize.
