The game
The derby began with both teams battling for possession. Flamengo's first good opportunity came in the sixth minute.

The Meninas da Gávea dominated the opening minutes and created chances in attack.

In the 12th minute, Cristiane received the ball on the right side of the box and fired a well-placed shot, which the black-and-white goalkeeper made a good save. Mengão then opened the scoring at the Nilton Santos stadium. Glaucia delivered a great pass to Crivelari, who dribbled past the goalkeeper and tapped it into the net: 1-0. The first half ended with the red-and-blacks in the lead.

After the break, Botafogo equalized with Drika's goal in the eighth minute, making it 1-1. After the equalizer, the black and white team continued to attack in search of a second goal. Flamengo, on the other hand, struggled to connect and create chances up front.
