The Meninas da Gávea faced Fluminense in Laranjeiras in the first leg of the U-20 Women's Carioca Championship final and drew 1-1 with their opponents. Mariana scored in the first half. The return leg will be next Saturday in Gávea at 15 p.m. It's worth noting that even with the draw, Flamengo has the advantage due to having the better campaign in the first phase.

The game

The match started with a well-balanced approach between the two teams, with few dangerous chances until Fluminense made a defensive mistake and Mariana intercepted, leaving Ingrid to shoot over the bar. On the next play, the opponents again made mistakes in their clearance, and Mariana made no mistake: 1-0 to Flamengo.

The Gávea Girls controlled the entire first half and went into halftime with the lead. Early in the second half, Flamengo started off with a scare: Leane's shot from outside the box hit the crossbar, and Mariana couldn't quite finish off the rebound. In the third minute, Fluminense equalized.

Rubro-Negro tried to respond soon after with Cecília, who took a free kick from the middle of the street with danger, going over the opponent's goal.

The match was well under control, and in the 40th minute, Mariana made a good individual play and crossed to Ana Papel, who shot weakly wide. In the final play, Raissa Rocha unleashed a beautiful shot that hit the post. The match ended 1-1.
