Flamengo's U-16 team continues to bring joy to the nation and play a game of football that is a joy to watch. This Tuesday (30), in another beautiful performance, the "Garotos do Ninho" defeated Red Bull Salzburg, from Austria, by a score of 3-0, in a match valid for the semifinal of the Verona Soccer Cup. The red-black goals were scored by Victor Hugo and Wiverson (2). With the result, the "Mais Querido" advanced to the final of the competition undefeated, achieving four consecutive victories.
The game
The first half began with both teams closely studying each other, with plenty of passing in midfield. Mengão tried to break through the opposing defense with quick passes, but created few real scoring chances. Red Bull also pushed forward to score, but were thwarted by the team's strong marking. As a result, the first half ended in a 0-0 draw.
The second half began with the Garotos do Ninho attacking their opponents. Just three minutes in, Flamengo opened the scoring. Daniel fought for the ball on the left side of the attacking half and crossed to Victor Hugo, who controlled it and shot past the goalkeeper, making it 3-1 for Flamengo. After opening the scoring, Flamengo continued to pressure Flamengo and soon scored the second. In the 0th minute, Wiverson was released on the right wing, dribbled past his marker, and, taking advantage of the ball's bounce, unleashed a rocket into the back of the net.
And the Ninho Boys wanted more! Tightly packed and coming out with precise touches, the Mais Querido (the most beloved team) surrounded their opponents, who tried their best to defend. In the 17th minute, Richard crossed from the left for Victor Hugo to pass to the unmarked Wiverson, extending the lead and scoring his second goal of the match, securing Flamengo's place in another international competition final.
Now, Mengão faces Milan again, who defeated Slavia Prague 3-1, in the tournament's grand final. The decisive match takes place this Wednesday (1) at 16 pm, Brasília time.
