In a match played on Monday morning (15) at Rashed Stadium in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Flamengo's U-16 team won once again and continues to enchant the world at the Dubai International Championship, considered the World Championship for the category. Today's victim of the Garotos do Ninho, who are the current undefeated champions of the competition, was Hatta Club, a local team. The impressive final score of 11-0 (Werton [2], Leoni [2], Diego, Victor Hugo, Kayque, Kaiky, Oliveira, Ryan Luka and João Pedro) means Mais Querido ends its participation in the group stage with a 100% record in three games, with 18 goals scored and no goals conceded. In the semifinal, Rubro-Negro will be full of confidence to face Shabab Alahli, former club of star player Everton Ribeiro. The duel will take place next Wednesday (15), at a time yet to be defined.

Today's resounding rout began in the eighth minute, when captain Diego headed the ball over the opposing goalkeeper to open the scoring. In the 20th minute, Kayque received the ball from Leoni behind the back line and crossed for Werton, free at the far post, to extend the lead. The third came in the 23rd minute, again from Werton, following a perfect cross from the right by Kayque. In the 40th minute, Werton passed the ball to Leoni for the fourth, still in the first half.

In the second half, the red-and-blacks' scoring spree continued. Just two minutes in, Leoni headed in the fifth. In the eighth minute, Victor Hugo received a beautiful pass from Arthur and fired in a left-footed shot for the sixth. The seventh—don't lose count!—was scored by Kayque in the 14th minute. Think it was over? After a corner kick in the 18th minute, Kaiky came in alone and only had to tap it in with his belly to make it eighth.

Three more goals followed to seal the score. In the 37th minute, Leoni crossed, the ball deflected off Victor Hugo, and Oliveira slotted home. Two minutes later, João Pedro's shot crossed, the goalkeeper parried, and Ryan Luka appeared well-positioned to score Flamengo's tenth goal of the game. The final goal was perhaps the most beautiful of the day. Leoni sent another cross into the box, the defense misplaced it, and João Pedro found the right corner with a beautiful first-time shot. The "Garotos do Ninho" (The Nest Boys) reach the semifinals of the U-16 World Championship for the second consecutive year, more confident than ever!

Flamengo: Hugo, Kayque, Diego, Nicollas, Leo; Vitor Muller, Arthur, Victor Hugo; Werton, Leoni and Pedro. Coach: Mario Jorge.
