In their most difficult match so far in the Taça BH, Flamengo's U-17 team faced Vitória on Thursday night (20), at the Caetano Cenachi Neto Municipal Stadium, in Rio Doce, in a match valid for the quarterfinal stage of the competition. The game was very disputed from start to finish, and after a 0-0 draw in normal time with two disallowed goals - one of them very doubtful -, the Garotos do Ninho showed the same coolness and concentration demonstrated recently. in the final of the Guanabara Cup, against Botafogo, when they won 9x8 and won the title, and won again on penalties. This time, with a score of 5-4 (Marx, Vitor Ricardo, Luan, Lucas Gabriel, and Rhyan all scored effectively). Having secured a spot in the Taça BH semifinals, the Mais Querido will face Palmeiras for a spot in the final. The match is scheduled for next Monday in Nova Serrana, with coverage on SporTV, but the time has not yet been set.

"It was a beautiful qualification, after a very difficult match. We faced a very skilled team, which makes this qualification even more valuable. We played a great match; we deserved to win in regulation time because of the chances we created, especially in the second half. In my opinion, we reached this semifinal with an impeccable campaign so far. Solid performances, with great quality, always prioritizing the style of play that Flamengo strives to impose in all its youth teams: possession-based football, combining technical and physical quality with a tremendous desire to win the game and be champion. This is the Flamengo DNA, and it's what qualifies us to go after this important title. We'll celebrate a lot today, but our focus from tomorrow morning onwards will be the semifinal against Palmeiras," said coach Mauricio Souza.
