Just five minutes in, Werton sent a low cross, and Mateusão ​​was inches too late with a slide tackle. In the 25th minute, after a good triangulation, Daniel Cabral passed to Werton, who fired a cross to the left of the Tricolor goal. The home team opened the scoring in the final play of first-half stoppage time, with Kennedy scoring.

In the second half, the game was more evenly matched, with few scoring chances for either side. In the 24th minute, goalkeeper Bruno conceded a penalty on Miguel Vinicius and was sent off. Miguel Vinicius himself took the shot. Dyogo Alves saved, but the striker collected the rebound to seal the match.

Flamengo: Bruno, Wesley, Diego, Cleiton, Marcos Paulo (Zé Wellinton); Igor Jesus (Santiago), Daniel Cabral, Matheus Gonçalves (Jean Carlos); Werton (Dyogo Alves), André (Kayke David) and Mateusão ​​(Ryan Luka). Coach: Mario Jorge.
