In the 13th minute, Werton capitalized on an opponent's misplaced pass, entered the box, and hit a cross, but his shot was deflected and stopped by the goalkeeper. In the 18th minute, Petterson made an individual play and was fouled on the edge of the box. Daniel Cabral crossed the ball, and Victor Hugo headed it into the corner. The ball just went wide.

The red-and-black blitz continued! First, Petterson fired a fine shot from outside the box, forcing a good save from the opposing goalkeeper. Next, Werton made a beautiful run down the right and crossed to Mateusão ​​in the box, who volleyed it in beautifully but missed the ball.

In the 25th minute, Mateusão ​​received the ball deep and fired a cross-shot, forcing another great save from Audax goalkeeper Cauã. In the 28th minute, Flamengo's full offensive output paid off.

In the final stretch of the first half, Mais Querido continued to control the game, often being stopped by fouls.

Flamengo started the second half exploiting the right flank, particularly with full-back Wesley. In the 11th minute, Mateusão ​​received the ball in the box and shot dangerously, but the goalkeeper cleared it for a corner. The defense cleared the shot.
