It was difficult and with a lot of pressure until the end, but Flamengo/Marinha won three more points playing in Gávea. On Tuesday afternoon (22), the red-blacks received Vitória-PE and, with two goals from Bárbara, one from Pâmela and one from Fernanda, they won 4-2 and guaranteed a positive result at home.

With this result, the Meninas da Gávea team now has eight points, with two wins, two draws, and one loss in the Brasileirão. The team remains close to the top of the standings, aiming to qualify for the next stage of the competition.

Pamela and Fernanda score in the first half
The first half started off lively, and just four minutes in, Pâmela opened the scoring. With a clever play from Bárbara, who pressured the goalkeeper as the ball came out and won, the number 4 pushed the ball in, making it 9-1. Shortly after, in the 0th minute, Vitória equalized through Jady, a defensive blunder by the red-and-blacks.

However, Flamengo didn't stop fighting. The next minute, Fernanda picked up a ball from outside the box and unleashed a powerful shot, deceiving the opposing goalkeeper, who was ahead, to score the second goal for the Mais Querido. The strong performance continued until the end, and the Meninas da Gávea went into halftime leading 2-1.

Barbara decides and guarantees victory
In the second half, the overall picture changed, and it was the Pernambuco team who came out on top. Just six minutes in, Juliana pounced on a fast ball and shot, but Flamengo's defense couldn't recover and saw the ball end up in the back of the net.

Knowing the need for a positive result, the Mais Querido fought hard, contesting every ball, and relied on a brilliant performance from goalkeeper Kaká, who stopped every opponent's attacks. Up front, it was Bárbara's turn to show her experience, putting her talent to the test, and scoring twice, once in the 33rd minute and again in the 42nd, to secure the 4-2 victory.

And now?
Rubro-Negro will play away from home again next week. On Thursday (31), Flamengo will travel to Osasco to face Audax, at 15 pm, at the José Liberatti stadium.
