Flamengo was defeated 2-1 by Santos, in a comeback, this Wednesday (11), at the Vila Belmiro Stadium, in the fifth round of the Brazilian Under-17 Championship. The red-black goal was scored by Ryan Roberto.

After taking the lead in the 34th minute of the first half, with a penalty goal, converted by Ryan Roberto, and maintaining the advantage until half-time, Fla ended up conceding the equalizer right at the beginning of the second half, in the 8th minute. The winning goal for Santos was scored two minutes later, giving the final numbers to the match.

Now, the team managed by Daniel Franklin occupies 12th place, but can still be overtaken, depending on the other results of the round. The next opponent of Rubro-Negro in the Brazilian U-17 will be RB Bragantino, Wednesday (18), at 15 pm, once again away from home, at the Nabi Abi Chedid Stadium, in Bragança Paulista.

Before that, however, Flamengo will take to the field for the semi-final of the Campeonato Carioca to face Fluminense, Saturday (14), at 10 am, at the Marcelo Vieira Stadium, in Xerém.
