By Cesar Nogueira - in
In the classic considered "The most charming in Brazil", the Garotos do Ninho Sub-20, beat Fluminense 1-0, in a match held on Monday afternoon (13), at the José Bastos Padilha Stadium, in Gávea. With the result, the Mais Querido added its first three points in the classification table.
The game
In a historic clash in Rio de Janeiro football, the red-and-black team came out very focused, with strong marking and plays down the flanks.
In the 13th minute, the first dangerous move came with a low shot from left midfielder Petterson. In the final minutes of the first half, the team, coached by Mário Jorge, pressed hard.
In the 43rd minute, Ryan Luka missed a great opportunity when he shot over the crossbar. But in stoppage time, there was no way out. After an excellent run down the left, Petterson worked a through ball to Pedrinho, who delivered a low cross from inside the box for Felipe Brian to open the scoring. This was the right-back's first goal in the division.
After the break, without any changes to the lineup, Flamengo nearly extended their lead in the second minute. A well-taken corner kick by Petterson resulted in midfielder Pedrinho heading in the second. The opposing goalkeeper saved it just off the line.
In the 37th minute, Caio Vinicius, who replaced Pedrinho, had a good chance. Four minutes later, Petterson hit a rocket off the crossbar in an individual play, narrowly missing Mengão's lead. In stoppage time, in the 48th minute, Ryan Luka again fired a shot that went just wide of the goalkeeper's goal.
The next match, valid for the third round of the Brasileirão Sub-20, will be held next Saturday (18), against Botafogo. The location and time will be announced by the CBF.
