In a match valid for the sixth round of the Taça Rio of the Sub-13 Metropolitan Championship, Flamengo received Vasco at the Gávea stadium on the afternoon of this Thursday (6), and achieved an exciting and comeback victory by 3 to 2.

Striker Ratinho was the hero of the match, scoring all three goals for Mais Querido. The final goal, which sealed the victory, came in stoppage time, with a beautiful header after a perfect free kick from left-back Richard. With the victory, Flamengo remains the undisputed leader of Group A of the Taça Rio, with a 100% record. In the next round, on the 12th, Flamengo hosts Boavista at 9 am in Gávea.

In the U-14 Metropolitano, in a match also played at Gávea Stadium, Flamengo and Vasco were tied at 0-0. Vasco was far superior throughout the match, but missed several scoring opportunities and failed to open the scoring. The result, however, maintains the red-and-black team's long unbeaten streak in the category and its position as leader of Group A of the Rio Cup. The team returns to action on the 12th, when it hosts Boavista at Gávea Stadium at 10:30 am. It's worth noting that Flamengo is a former Guanabara Cup champion, and if it also wins the Rio Cup, it will be crowned champion outright, without the need to play in the final.
