Flamengo continues its impressive run in the Brazilian Under-20 Championship. This Wednesday, at Gávea, they defeated Athletico-PR 3-1, coming from behind, with two goals from Guilherme Bala and one from top scorer Rodrigo Muniz. 

"It was an important victory in a very tough game. We achieved provisional leadership and, God willing, we will achieve definitive leadership after the results of the round," said defender Gabriel Noga, who was called up to play in the U-17 World Cup for the Brazilian National Team.

Flamengo's U-20 youth team returns to the field this weekend to face Vasco, away from home, in the second leg of the Taça Rio final. Flamengo lost the first leg 2-0.
