In a match valid for the fifth and final round of the Copa Rio Feminina Sub-20, on the afternoon of this Friday (17), in Gávea, Flamengo opened 2-0 against Vasco, with goals from Dudinha and Ana Papel, but conceded the equalizer in the second half and finished its participation in the competition in second place overall.
The game
Without abandoning their style despite the absences – six players called up for the national team and some available for the professional team – Flamengo started the match playing practically in the attacking half. The first good chance came from Ana Papel, with a long-range shot. Then, from a set piece, it was Cecília's turn to almost open the scoring with a header.
After much persistence, the beloved team finally took the lead. In the 19th minute, Yasmim Cardozo made a great play and passed to Alice. The number 9 controlled the ball and rolled it to Dudinha, who hit the corner of the net: 1-0. Minutes later, Yasmim almost extended the lead. In stoppage time, Yasmim went to the byline and crossed to Ana Papel's head: 2-0. On the kickoff, Vasco launched an attack and the referee awarded a penalty. Ofredi took the penalty and scored before halftime.
In the second half, the opposing team equalized early on, again with Ofredi. After the goal, Flamengo regained control and applied significant pressure. At various points, the final pass was lacking. At other times, the ball simply refused to go in. And despite the Flamengo women's team's great effort, the match ended 2-2, and their objective was not achieved.
