Due to the rain this morning, the pitch was quite heavy, making it difficult for Mais Querido to exchange passes and leaving the game very choppy in midfield. It took some time for the players to adjust. In the 8th minute, Samuel passed a beautiful ball to Mayquinho on the left. The number 10 passed to Jean Carlos, who crossed into the box. The opposing goalkeeper was able to beat him, but Borssatto arrived too late and couldn't get the ball into the net. From then on, Mais Querido controlled the entire first half. In the 11th minute, a good exchange of passes entrance of Boavista area. Peçanha, unbalanced, kicked the ball out, but it went very close to the goal defended by Igão. In the 25th minute, defender Hugo equalized. Maykinho took the corner kick, and the number 4 rose higher than the opposing defense to head the ball home. Flamengo 1-0 Boavista. Two minutes later, another great pass, Mayquinho turned a beautiful ball to Marcos Felipe. The Flamengo full-back cut deep and crossed low to Gabriel Borsatto. He beat the defender to the shot, forcing the opposing goalkeeper to make a great save over the bar. Flamengo was very strong attacking on the right with Marcos Felipe. In the 34th minute, the play repeated itself: Mayquinho once again found Marcos on the right, free, the number 2 crossed, and Borsatto shot wide. Almost the second for Flamengo.

Despite a break in the rain during the first half, it started raining again after the break, making things a bit more difficult for Flamengo. But the "Garotos do Ninho" (Nest Boys) didn't back down, charging Boavista. Samuel was fouled just outside the box. Mayquinho's dangerous shot forced a difficult save from goalkeeper Igão into the left corner. With the score favorable, Flamengo created a few counterattack opportunities for Boavista, but they failed to capitalize on them. In the 12th minute, Jean Carlos took the ball, gained ground, drifted into the middle, and passed it to Borsatto, who battled with the defenders and fired a cross. The ball sailed just wide of the Boavista post. The star of the match so far, with an assist and excellent offensive participation, number 10 Mayquinho delivered a beautiful free kick from the front into the corner past goalkeeper Igão.
