With just four points and second in Group E, the most beloved team bid farewell to the Copa SP de Júniors tonight. The team demonstrated skill and determination, but it wasn't enough to defeat América-SP on Friday night at the Benedito Teixeira stadium in São José de Rio Preto.
From the start, Flamengo came out focused on attacking. Luan opened the scoring after a mistake by midfielder Victor Hugo. In the 33rd minute, Renan Donizete made a run at the edge of the box and fired a shot past goalkeeper Toni, making it 1-1. It seemed like it was time for a comeback, but América-SP added another through Kairon.
In the 29th minute, Romário scored from a cross by Digão, ensuring a thrilling final whistle. The red-and-black team dominated the game and tried several times, but failed to score. The dream of a third Copinha title is postponed until 2014.
