In a classic played at the São Januário Stadium on Thursday afternoon (12) and valid for the first leg of the final of the Brazilian Under-17 Championship, Flamengo even took the lead against Vasco, but suffered the comeback and left the field defeated by 3x1 (Matheus Gonçalves). 

With the best campaign of the entire competition since the first phase, when they won eight of their nine games and eliminated Atlético MG and São Paulo in sequence, Rubro-Negro will need to win the return match, scheduled for next Monday (16) at 20 pm in Volta Redonda, by at least two goals, a result that will take the decision of the Brazilian title to penalty kicks. National champion in 2019, Mengão's U-17 team is fighting for its second Brazilian championship.

Flamengo: Dyogo Alves, Samuel, Kauã Moura, Darlan, Wesley (Diego Clemente); Vitor Muller, Dudu (Victor Hugo), Matheus Gonçalves (Rodriguinho); Matheus França, Petterson and Mateusão. Coach: Mario Jorge.
