It's decision day for Flamengo's football team this Thursday (26). Just like the professional team, Mengão's U-17 team is looking to advance to the semifinals, but in the Brasileirão in the category. Against Fluminense, the Garotos do Ninho need to win away from home to continue their dream of winning their third championship. The ball rolls at 15 pm, with broadcast on SporTV.

After the 1-1 draw in the first leg, in Gávea, last Thursday (19), the team led by coach Eduardo Zuma has two important returns for the decisive match of the quarterfinals. Right-back Wanderson, the second top scorer for the red-black team in the Brasileirão, returns after an illness, in addition to midfielder Pablo who recovered from an ankle injury and is at the coach's disposal, as he himself said during his participation in the program Garotos Do Ninho, last Monday (23).

"We've been training a lot during the week, correcting the mistakes we made in the first match to play an excellent game there, and God willing, come out with the classification which is what matters most," commented Joshua, who became the top scorer in the U-17 after scoring the goal for Mengão in the first leg of the quarterfinals.

This is the third U-17 Fla-Flu match in 2024. In the first, for the Copa Rio, Flamengo won 3-0 in Xerém with goals from Joshua, Douglas Telles, and Pablo, who scored on a free kick from midfield. At 15 p.m., the referee rolls the final 90 minutes of the clock for the final, which will be broadcast on SporTV. Go for it, Ninho Boys!
