In the 34th minute, a scare: the Goiás team equalized through Rian. Right after the kickoff, the Flamengo youth team regained the lead with another goal from André, who is in excellent form. It was the third consecutive game in which he scored. 

And then, the rout began. In the 37th minute, Lázaro exchanged passes with André and scored the third goal. The Flamengo number 10 was the star of the game, with a goal and two beautiful assists. There was still time for Weverton to score the fourth goal in the 44th minute, after a beautiful assist from Daniel Cabral, sealing the third victory for the Flamengo youth team in the first three rounds of the Brazilian U-20 Championship.
