While the first half was goalless, Flamengo excelled in the second half, scoring four times, while Bangu scored a consolation goal in the 42nd minute, with the scoreboard showing 3-0 for Flamengo. In the 14th minute, midfielder Cafu opened the scoring. Six minutes later, forward Thiago Santos found the net to extend the lead. Meanwhile, number 9 Nathan added two goals in the 38th and 44th minutes.
"In the second half, we managed to work the ball and I started playing more through the middle and, thank God, I managed to score my goals. The coach talked to us, got our positioning right, and we managed to do what he wanted and come away with the win. For Saturday (against Bonsucesso), our team is doing well, working hard, and expectations are high," said Nathan.
With this result, Flamengo is provisionally top with 30 points and has now won their eighth consecutive match in the competition.
