Once again, it was an emotional affair. In a very lively match played on Wednesday night (19) at the Luso-Brasileiro Stadium, on Ilha do Governador, and valid for the third round of the Brazilian Under-17 Championship, the Garotos do Ninho hosted Grêmio and won 4-3 (Petterson [2], Victor Hugo and Matheus Gonçalves). In addition to keeping Flamengo with a 100% record in the competition, the Rubro-Negro's third consecutive victory in the Brazilian Championship gives the Mais Querido sole leadership of Group A, which, in addition, also has the best overall campaign in the Championship. In the next round, Mengão visits São Paulo, on Tuesday (25) at 19 pm, with live broadcast on SporTV. 

The match started evenly, with good chances for both sides. Grêmio threatened with a shot from Nathan after just five minutes. Dyogo Alves was alert and made a good save with his feet. Petterson then crossed a dangerous ball into the box, but Grêmio goalkeeper Luizão made a confident save. The team from Rio Grande do Sul opened the scoring in the 24th minute with Hiago. 

Flamengo continued to attack and quickly turned the game around. The equalizer came in the 35th minute, with a free kick from Petterson. The next minute, in the 36th minute, Matheus França made a beautiful individual play and passed the ball to Victor Hugo, who struck first time, scoring his second goal of the Brasileirão and putting the Garotos do Ninho in front. There was still time for the third, in the 43rd minute, again with Petterson. Mengão went into halftime with a good lead.

Grêmio came back with a bit more attacking momentum in the second half, reducing the deficit in the 11th minute with a goal from Kauan Kelvin, and equalizing in the 13th minute with a header from defender Pablo. The Boys from the Nest didn't give up, pressing again, and regained the lead in the 36th minute. Just like in the match against Ceará, Matheus Gonçalves came off the bench, made his mark, and secured the Rubro-Negro's third consecutive victory in the U-17 Brasileirão.

Flamengo: Dyogo Alves, Samuel (Wesley), Kauã Moura (JP), Darlan, Ze Wellinton (Turini); Vitor Muller, Dudu (João Filipe), Victor Hugo (Marcos); Matheus França, Petterson and Mateusão ​​(Matheus Gonçalves). Coach: Mario Jorge.
