In a match played on Wednesday afternoon (10) at Barradão Stadium, in Salvador, Flamengo's U-20 team, led by coach Mauricio Souza, had broad dominance throughout the game, created numerous clear goal opportunities and deserved the three points, but did not materialize the superiority in goals and ended up drawing 0x0 against Vitória, in the third round of the Brazilian Championship. 

The Most Beloved finishes the round in second place in the standings, and prepares for two games in Volta Redonda next week. On Monday (15) at 16:30 pm, against Fluminense, and on Thursday (18), at 19 pm, against Internacional. With an alternative team, Rubro-Negro receives Audax, tomorrow at 15 pm in Gávea, in the second leg of the round of 3 of the OPG Tournament. In the first leg, the Garotos do Ninho won 0-XNUMX.



The first chance fell to the Rio de Janeiro Flamengo team in just three minutes, when Yuri took a free kick under the wall and saw the ball explode off Bahia goalkeeper Yuri's right post. In the 13th minute, Yuri again took a chance from outside the box, this time over Vitória's goal. In the following minute, Flamengo pressed the opponent's ball out. The ball fell to Vitor Gabriel, who shook off two defenders and unleashed a powerful shot. The ball was headed toward goal, but deflected off the defense and went out for a corner, scraping Yuri's post.

Flamengo dominated the game and pressed forward in search of the first goal. In the 28th minute, Bill rolled the ball, and Yuri fired in a third shot. Once again, the opposing goalkeeper made the save. On the next attack, Matheus França crossed, and the ball flew inches from Vitor Gabriel's foot, who was unmarked on the edge of the six-yard box. The goal was growing and seemed only a matter of time. Vitória only had their first shot in the 38th minute, through Gabriel. The shot went over Hugo Souza's goal. The last play before halftime was perhaps their best chance. After Matheus França's cross, the defense mishandled the ball, and the ball fell to Vitor Gabriel. The shot, however, went too high.



The game didn't change in the second half. In the eleventh minute, Vitor Gabriel struck a powerful shot, literally scraping paint off Yuri's left post. In the 21st minute, Ramon crossed into the box, and Vitor Gabriel's header went over the bar. Luiz Henrique's shot went over the bar in the 23rd. The red-and-black attacking blitz continued unabated. In the 42nd minute, Vitor Gabriel, Matheus Alves, and Wendel all had their shots blocked in quick succession. In the final chance, in stoppage time, Yuri took a free kick that grazed the Bahian team's crossbar, and they managed to equalize. Today, the ball just wouldn't go in. 

Flamengo: Hugo Souza, Matheus França, Natan, Lucas Freitas, Ramon; Vinicius Souza, Gomes (Rodrigo Muniz), Luiz Henrique (Matheus Alves); Bill (Wendel), Yuri and Vitor Gabriel. Coach: Mauricio Souza.
