Continuing their excellent season, Flamengo's U-15 team defeated Cruzeiro 4-1 on penalties after a 0-0 draw in regulation time, qualifying for the BH Cup grand final for the third year in a row. After winning the Copa 2 de Julho for the first time and the State Championship after nine years, the team led by coach Ramon Lima could close the season with a flourish, also winning the BH Cup for the first time. In 2014, Flamengo lost the final to Corinthians. Last year, they lost to Atlético MG on penalties, conceding the equalizer in the final seconds of the match, while leading 2-1.

"It was a victory that required a lot of dedication and sacrifice from a group that demonstrates the strength of our squad every day in a competition with daily matches and intense physical and mental demands. Winning at home against a top-tier opponent like Cruzeiro makes the result even more valuable. We hope to perform well again in the final against a qualified opponent like Botafogo. We need balance, team spirit, and the soul of Flamengo in this final," said coach Ramon Lima.

Flamengo and Botafogo will rematch the BH Cup final of the category's State Championship final, played just 15 days ago. After a 2-2 draw at Arena Botafogo, Rubro-Negro defeated the General Severiano team 2-1 in Gávea, and celebrated the U-15 state title after nine years.
