On Wednesday afternoon (16.10), at Marrentão Stadium, Flamengo achieved its fourth victory in seven games in the Otávio Pinto Guimarães Tournament (OPG). The victim this time was Duque de Caxias, who was defeated 3-1, with Pablo, Mattheus and Thiago scoring the red-black goals.

"We scored the first goal of the game and created a lot of chances. They even tied the game, but our team kept creating chances and ended up scoring two more goals. It was a very good performance by Flamengo," said Cleber dos Santos, Flamengo's coach.

With the result, Mais Querido maintained its lead in Group B, opening up a three-point lead over Serra Macaense (14-11), who will still play this Wednesday. A loss for the Macaé team will automatically qualify Flamengo for the next stage of the OPG Tournament, even with two rounds remaining in the group stage.
