Even though they played a good second half, Flamengo lost the first game of the final of the U-17 Brazil Cup. On Tuesday night (27.08), at Morumbi, in the capital of São Paulo, São Paulo got the better of it and won 2-0. The red-black team now needs the support of the Nation in the return match, which will be played next Saturday (31.08), at 21:30 pm, at Moacyrzão, in Macaé, in the state of Rio.
"We need to improve a lot. We were expecting a tough game, as their team is very good and plays the ball well. Now we have to try to get a result in Rio de Janeiro. The final isn't over yet, and our team fought until the end. On Saturday, the fans will be a big help, and we'll fight until the end to get the result we need," said left-back Jorge after the final whistle.
Flamengo will have to win its next game by three goals to take the title in 90 minutes. If it wins 2-0, the match will go to penalties. In the event of a draw or a loss, São Paulo will take the trophy.
