In the match that concluded the first round of the initial phase of the U-17 Brazil Cup, the "Garotos do Ninho" defeated Ceará 4-1 in the competition's debut. The clubs faced off at the Presidente Vargas Stadium in Fortaleza, and the result eliminated the need for a second leg, guaranteeing coach Marcinho's team a spot in the next stage.

During the first half, the red-and-black team largely dominated possession. The Ceará team faced enormous difficulties due to the Mais Querido's good posture, which occupied the spaces well and gave the opponent few moments of tranquility to work plays.

Their superiority in the match soon translated into goals. In the 27th minute, after a great play down the left flank, Vitor Gabriel masterfully played his role as a center forward. After receiving a cross in the penalty area, the number 9 finished with power and precision to open the scoring. However, on the second chance the black and white team created, Thiaguinho found the net and tied the match.

In the second half, the players returned with the same commitment, a key element in making their talent shine. Early in the second half, Yuri took a corner kick, Vitor Gabriel headed it in, and, on the rebound, Patrick finished to put Flamengo back in front.

Shortly thereafter, the red-and-black captain found the net again, converting a penalty kick that had been awarded after number 10 Yuri was brought down in the penalty area. To seal the match, number 10 Yuri made a good run down the left flank and found center forward Vitor Gabriel in the six-yard box, who finished with precision for his second goal of the match.

In the next phase, the Garotos do Ninho will face the Santos team, with the first match taking place on October 11th, with home field advantage yet to be defined.
