The Ninho Boys beat Serra Macaense 3-0 in their opening match. 

In a double round this Saturday, at the Bastos Padilha stadium, in Gávea, the Mais Querido U-15 defeated Serra Macaense 3-0. Earlier, in the opening game, the U-17 also beat the Macaé team, 3-0. 

The game 

A strong debut for the U-15s in the competition, with coach Vinicius Durante leading the team. In a blistering start, Flamengo scored its first goals of the match within five minutes. Just two minutes in, Filipe, from the left flank, sent the ball into the box, deceiving the opposing defenders and goalkeeper and finding the back of the net. Three minutes later, captain Levy showed opportunism and headed home the second for Mengão. 

After the timeout, another excellent chance to extend the lead arose. Enzo's shot from outside the box hit the crossbar. 

In the second half, with a significant lead, Mengão nearly scored a third in the 16th minute with a beautiful shot from defender Ryan, also from outside the box. A minute later, Victor tried a set piece opportunity and went just wide of the goal. Jheferson nearly scored in the 34th minute. But in the 37th minute, there was no way out. Pauaca sealed the scoring with a powerful shot from just outside the box. 

Mais Querido's next match in the Copa Rio will take place next Saturday (25), against Gonçalense, at CT das Vargens.
