On Friday afternoon (27), Flamengo beat Resende 4-0 in a match valid for the tenth round of the Taça Guanabara Sub-20. Mais Querido took the lead in the first seconds of the match and maintained its offensive momentum until the end.
With this result, the Garotos do Ninho will now be waiting for the remaining matches of the round to confirm their qualification for the quarterfinals of the tournament with one round to spare.
The game
The match started with Flamengo on top. In the opening seconds, Werton took a shot, and the ball was deflected for a corner. The ball was lofted into the box, and after a back-and-forth, it fell to Victor Hugo, who, number 10, pushed it in and opened the scoring: 1-0 Flamengo in the first minute of play.
And despite the lightning lead, the Boys of the Nest didn't slow down, and minutes later, in the 5th minute, Werton was brought down in the box, and the referee awarded a penalty. Mateusão took the shot, displacing the goalkeeper, extending the lead for the Mais Querido (Most Beloved) to 2-0.
In the 20th minute, after a corner kick, Victor Hugo headed the ball, and Resende's defense cleared it on the line. After the water break, Mateusão was brought down in the box, but the referee didn't signal anything.
Resende's team pushed forward, and Flamengo exploited the space to create danger on the counterattack. Petterson twice created significant danger. After another corner kick, Cleiton rose to the second floor and smashed it against the crossbar. Flamengo pressed forward in search of a third goal.
Flamengo's persistence paid off. In the 41st minute, Victor Hugo delivered a beautiful through ball to Mateusão, who fired a superb first-time shot into the corner, giving the opposing goalkeeper no chance: 3-0 Flamengo.
The boys from the nest started the second half with possession, looking for space. Werton and Petterson received balls in the box and finished dangerously.
After a beautiful Flamengo play, Mateusão received the ball in the box and fired over the bar. Then, in the 23rd minute, Santiago received the ball on the right and crossed low into the middle of the box. Pedro Arthur, who had just come on, finished with skill to extend the lead to 4-0.
Flamengo continued to press their opponents until the end of the game, but Pedro Arthur's goal gave the match its final score.
