In the next round, Mais Querido faces Alviverde paulista, in Diadema, with live broadcast on SporTV. The duel takes place on Sunday, the 22nd, at 11 am. 

The national derby saw no clear-cut chances until the 20th minute of the first half, when Matheus França unleashed a first-time shot from the edge of the box, which Atlético goalkeeper Matheus Mendes made a good save, palming it away for a corner. From then on, Flamengo gained possession in their own half and opened the scoring in the 27th minute. After Matheus França's cross, Yuri headed the ball, and Wendel, well-positioned, beat his defender to the ball into the back of the Atlético net. Flamengo continued to dominate and nearly extended their lead in the 42nd minute, with a cross from Rodrigo Muniz that went just to the right of the Minas Gerais team's goal. 

In the second half, the pace of the match didn't change much. In the tenth minute, Richard Rios struck a beautiful shot from the edge of the box, but the ball hit Matheus Mendes's crossbar, who could only watch. In the 13th minute, Matheus França was brought down in the box. Yuri took the shot, but the ball sailed over Atlético's goal. In the 28th minute, the team's superiority translated into the second goal. Richard Rios delivered a beautiful pass to Rodrigo Muniz. The U-20's top scorer of the season displayed great composure and skill to chip it over Matheus Mendes and score his 23rd goal of 2019, sealing the tenth victory for the Garotos do Ninho in the Brasileirão U-20.
