This Saturday (May 04.05th), Flamengo will take the field against Nova Iguaçu in the final of the Rio Under-20 Cup. The match will be at Moça Bonita Stadium in Bangu at 15 p.m., with free admission. Having the best record in the competition, Flamengo's youth team is playing for a draw and can win the title undefeated. If the numbers are anything to go by, Flamengo is the heavy favorite to win. Boasting the best attack (22 goals) and the best defense (5 goals conceded), the team also boasts the top scorer in the Campeonato Carioca: Douglas Baggio, who scored the first goal in Flamengo's 2-1 semifinal victory over Madureira last Sunday, taking his total to 10.

Throughout the week, the team led by Cleber dos Santos trained intensely to be 100% ready for the final. Flamengo will be at full strength. "I'll keep the same lineup from last game, with the attacking trio of Thomás, Igor Sartori, and Douglas Baggio. Our team values ​​balance between the two teams, always striving for victory. We'll go in to win and arrive with confidence in the Carioca finals," said Cleber dos Santos.
