The result of the first round was still hanging in the balance. After the defeat suffered in the debut of the Brazilian Women's Football Championship A-1, a lot happened to Flamengo/Marinha. Reinforcements arrived, the squad became more cohesive, important victories, and the Military World Cup title. In the rematch, which took place on Wednesday afternoon (22), the red-blacks knew the responsibility they had, especially playing in Gávea.

The match, part of the final round of the group stage of the national tournament, wasn't easy. However, the determination and desire to win were evident in the locker room. Blood was in their eyes, love for the jersey, and strength was in their boots. With goals from Bárbara, Dany Helena, Flávia, and Nathane, Flamengo won 4-0 and secured second place in the standings.

The game
The match was tough from the start, but Mengo prevailed at every turn. Fighting for every tackle, it didn't take long for all their effort and dedication to pay off. In the 13th minute, after no one gave up, the ball fell to Bárbara, who sent a powerful shot into the back of the net to open the scoring.

Creating excellent opportunities, Flamengo didn't let Santos breathe, pressing every ball out and every attempt. While Kaká held on to the few opportunities created, the attack continued its momentum to extend the lead. In the 34th minute, Flávia won a challenge in the attacking half and found Dany Helena, who broke through unmarked and beat the goalkeeper.

Following the same rhythm, Mais Querido wasn't content with the 2-0 lead they'd achieved in the first half. With the second half even more contested, it was Flávia's turn to score after receiving the ball in front. In celebration, the forward knelt and celebrated profusely, demonstrating the significance of that moment.

Changing the lineup, coach Ricardo Abrantes made three changes, bringing on Larissa, Nathane, and Bia. The changes gave Flamengo more mobility, and they even added one more player. Pâmela burst into the box and ended up being fouled hard. Nathane struck the ball brilliantly, beating the goalkeeper, and making it 4-0, ending the match.

And now?
With this result, Flamengo finishes Group 2 with 27 points from 14 games, having scored 33 goals and conceded 17. The red-and-blacks are preparing for the next stage of the Brasileirão. Aiming for the quarterfinals, Flamengo faces Kindermann on Wednesday, September 5th, at 15 pm. The match will be away from home.
