The game
The match began with the Meninas da Gávea taking the initiative and going on the attack. The early game was quite tense, with a lot of competition for possession in midfield. Flamengo had greater control of possession, but struggled to penetrate Botafogo's box.

The rain also significantly hampered the game, making the field heavy, hindering passing. In the 39th minute, Thais Regina took a free kick from midfield, and the ball went over the goal. Kaylane then received the ball in the box and shot. The goalkeeper made a good save from the red-and-black team's best attempt in the first half, which ended goalless.

In the second half, the Meninas da Gávea created three chances in the first ten minutes. In search of a goal, the red-and-black team pressed Botafogo, who adopted a more defensive posture. In the 16th minute, goalkeeper Kelly tried to play the ball out, but the ball got stuck on the turf. Duda tried to take advantage, challenged the defender, and the ball went out for a corner.

In the 32nd minute, Jucinara took a free kick from the right, the goalkeeper touched it with her fingertips, and the ball hit the crossbar. Despite their superiority, the Rubro-Negro team couldn't find the net, and the derby ended in a 0-0 draw.
