The game
The match began with the Meninas da Gávea taking the initiative and investing in plays down the wings, especially on the left. In the 17th minute, Flamengo created a threat for the first time. Ana Papel received a well-placed pass, entered the box, and shot powerfully, but the goalkeeper made a good save.

Sport then opened the scoring with Gessica, who took advantage of a corner kick and finished into the corner of goalkeeper Laisla's net: 1-0. After the goal, the red-and-black team began to press their opponents more and create more chances. In the 24th minute, Pimenta headed the ball against the crossbar.

Soon after, Mengão leveled the score with a stunning goal! Carol Martins, at the edge of the box, skillfully hit a free kick into the goalkeeper's left corner to make it 1-1.

It didn't take long for Flamengo to turn the game around with a double Ana Laura. The second, in the 39th minute, came from a pass from Pimenta, who found the free wing to finish. And the third was another stunning goal! The number 2 saw the goalkeeper slightly off the edge and fired a rare shot over the top: 3-1. Flamengo went into halftime ahead.

In the second half, the game slowed down a bit, with few chances created. At a disadvantage, Sport had to push forward, forcing Laisla into two good saves.

In the 29th minute, Mengão extended their lead. After a cross from Kethilyn into the box, Nina Garrit, who came on in the second half, rose unmarked and headed the ball into the net: 4-1.
