In the 18th minute, Menegatti received the ball deep and shot dangerously. Flamengo was creating the better opportunities.

Early in the second half, Lorran received the ball in the middle, drove it in, and took a shot from outside the box. The ball grazed the post. In the 23rd minute, the Boys had a string of chances. First, a free kick from the edge of the box, taken by Lorran, and then two more shots from the red-and-blacks.

At 25', Vasco opened the scoring: 1-0.

After the opponent's goal, the Garotos do Ninho went forward, but despite all their efforts, the Cruz-Maltino goal gave the final numbers to the match.
