Kicking off a busy Saturday in Gávea, the U-15 team, led by coach Mario Jorge, maintained its 100% record in the Guanabara Cup and won its sixth consecutive match in the competition, maintaining its sole lead. The score against Boavista was a narrow 1-0 (João Pedro). But the red-and-black team's dominance throughout the match was overwhelming, and the victory was only prevented from being easier thanks to goalkeeper Caio and the post. The team has the next round off and returns to action on the 19th, when it hosts Goytacaz, in Gávea, at 15 pm.

Three minutes into the game, Victor Hugo hit a cross and the ball exploded off the left post of Caio's goal. Flamengo controlled the game and opened the scoring in the 15th minute, when Samuel arrived at the bottom and crossed with great quality to João Pedro, who showed good

positioning and goal-scoring instinct to touch the ball first time and hit the net for the first time on a sunny morning in Gávea.

The second half was very similar to the first. In the fourth minute, Richard crossed, and Victor Hugo appeared in the box to beat the defender and narrowly avoid extending the lead. In the 34th minute, Werton unleashed a powerful shot, and goalkeeper Caio made a spectacular save. On the rebound, Kaique unleashed a powerful shot, and the ball hit the post. In the 36th minute, Richard delivered another excellent cross, and Werton fired wide, the last goal-scoring chance of the match.

Flamengo: Christian, Samuel, Diego (Kassio), Kaique, Richard; Dudu, Daniel Campos (Enzo), Victor Hugo (Werton); Arthur Lessa (Leoni), João Pedro and Ryan Luka. Coach: Mario Jorge.

Coach Phelipe Leal's men faced a tough opponent, one that at the start of the round was battling Flamengo point-for-point in the standings. The red-and-black team's 6-0 victory (Rodrigo Muniz [3], Rhyan, Yuri de Oliveira, and Paulo Victor) allowed the "Garotos do Ninho" (Boavista Boys) to open up a four-point lead and enter the top four, now with 4 points. In the next round, "Mais Querido" faces América in Edson Passos.

Mais Querido's first chance came in the eighth minute. Ramon passed to Rhyan, who struck first-time, but goalkeeper Luan saved. In the 27th minute, the Ninho Boys narrowly missed opening the scoring. Yuri de Oliveira unleashed a powerful shot from outside the box, which Luan palmed away, and the ball capriciously hit the crossbar and bounced practically over the goal line. Rhyan got to the rebound, but defender Matheus blocked it just in time, saving Boavista. On the next play, Bruno Gabriel headed the ball, but Luan made another excellent save. The rebound was blocked by Rodrigo Muniz, who fired a shot wide of the net.

The pressure was intense. In the 31st minute, Bruno Gabriel crossed and Rhyan rose with style. His header flew past Luan's left post. In the 33rd minute, Bruno Gabriel charged at the opposing defense and was only stopped by a hard foul from Hyslan, who received a second yellow card and was sent off.

Rubro-Negro opened the scoring in the first minute of the second half. Gomes broke free of the defense and passed to Yuri de Oliveira. The midfielder crossed perfectly for Rhyan, who showed opportunism and tapped in the goal for the Garotos do Ninho's first goal of the game. In the eighth minute, Rodrigo Muniz received the ball inside the box, beat his marker, and fired over the bar. But the Bacaxá team's resistance was short-lived. In the 11th minute, Ramon crossed for Rodrigo Muniz to double the lead. Just a minute later, Yuri de Oliveira unleashed a beautiful shot from outside the box to make it three.

In the 25th minute, it became a rout. Rodrigo Muniz made a beautiful run, outpacing the entire defense in strength and speed, and skillfully slotted past the goalkeeper to score the fourth. In the 36th minute, Rodrigo Muniz completed his hat trick, scoring his third of the match and Flamengo's fifth, following a cross that surprised the goalkeeper and went into the top corner. Paulo Victor sealed the scoring in the 45th minute with a header.

Coach: Phelipe Leal.
