On the afternoon of this Saturday (2), the Garotos do Ninho began to compete in the semifinal stage of the Carioca Sub-15 and beat Nova Iguaçu 3-1, away from home. João Vitor, Luiz Guilherme and Gabriel Santos scored for Mengão.
The game
The start of the game was dry, with both teams fiercely competing for possession in midfield. In the 11th minute, Flamengo's only significant scoring chance came from Luiz Guilherme, who, after a challenge in the box, shot on goal, but the defense managed to deflect it. The game continued like this until the end of the half: intense competition for the ball and little creative play from either team. But late in the first half, in stoppage time, João Vitor was awarded a penalty that he himself took and converted: 1-0 for Mengão.
The second half started with Flamengo more aggressive and taking advantage of the fact that the opponent needed to come out into the game, thus increasing the spaces and allowing that the plays began to come more easily. However, in the 22nd minute, in a counterattack, Nova Iguaçu tied the match.
But the Nest Boys didn't give up, they kept attacking and were rewarded with a goal! In the 27th minute, after missing two opportunities in the second half, Luiz Guilherme scored a stunning goal after a beautiful cross from Rafael Tenório. Late in the game, Flamengo added a third through Gabriel Santos, following a fine solo play and a cross from João Vitor, giving the match its final score.
