After the U-17 and U-15 teams beat Tigres in the morning, and the U-14 team defeated Vasco and qualified for the Guanabara Cup final, late Saturday afternoon (12) it was Flamengo's U-13 team's turn to take the field to also face Vasco, in a classic valid for the semifinal of the Guanabara Cup of the Metropolitan Championship of the category. And for those who thought the three previous victories were already good enough, the icing on the cake was left for the last game of the busy Saturday in Gávea. In the second classic of the day against Vasco, the Garotos do Ninho won by an unassailable 5-2 (Victor [3], Cauan and João). With the U-13 team qualifying for the final of the first round, the youth football team of Mais Querido reaches the impressive milestone of playing in all the Guanabara Cup finals in 2017, which shows that the excellent work continues to be carried out satisfactorily and correctly, with results on and off the field.

Flamengo started the U-13 semifinals with a bang, quickly taking a 2-0 lead thanks to two goals from Victor. The first came in the third minute, following a corner kick in the box. The second came in the twelfth minute, with a masterful free kick that went into the top corner of the net, but the Vasco goalkeeper was unable to stop it. Flamengo suffered a scare when they conceded an equalizer early in the second half, but quickly calmed their nerves and, returning to their organized play and possession, sealed the victory and a stunning rout.

In the 12th minute of the second half, Victor delivered a superb pass over the defense, and João skillfully slotted it over the goalkeeper for the third. Soon after, in the 14th minute, Victor received the ball unmarked and sealed his hat trick with a chipped chip. There was still time for Cauan, who had come off the bench, to complete the Red-and-Black rout in the 32nd minute.

Due to their best record in the overall standings of the Guanabara Cup, the Garotos do Ninho will play the only final match at home, against Botafogo, next weekend. The Federation will also set the dates and times for the finals in the U-13 and U-14 categories.
