On Saturday morning (31), Flamengo was beaten by Botafogo 3-0, at the Nilton Santos Stadium, in the first leg of the Copa Rio Sub-20 final.
The game
After a slow start, Botafogo's Mais Querido (Most Beloved) tried to create a chance but were hampered by the opposing team's strong marking. In the 24th minute, Bebê opened the scoring, and after the timeout, Tailane extended the lead for Botafogo: 2-0. In stoppage time, Leane tried her luck from distance, but goalkeeper Isadora saved, and the first half ended like that.
In the second half, Flamengo came back a little stronger, but couldn't be effective. Campos's introduction led to a more attacking approach, but in the 42nd minute, Bya capitalized on a long ball to make it 3-0, sealing the victory.
