The game

On a very hot morning in Xerém, the first half was evenly balanced, with few dangerous chances created by either team. However, late in the first half, the home team capitalized on a cross from the right and opened the scoring.

In the second half, Flamengo came back stronger. Controlling the opposing pressure and increasing the pace on the field, the team, now led by Eduardo Zuma, pressed hard for the equalizer. Pereira and Douglas Telles, who came on in the second half, created Mengão's best chances, but it wasn't enough.
