The game
Early in the match, the Meninas da Gávea opened the scoring! Duda Rodrigues pressed the ball out, and Gica took advantage and slotted it into the corner to make it 1-0. Botafogo, in turn, equalized in the 12th minute with Basílio, who took a corner kick straight at goal. The ball hit defender Carol Martins before going in: 1-1.

Throughout the first half, Flamengo dominated possession and created several opportunities to score a second. In the 40th minute, Mariana received the ball at the edge of the box and took a shot. The ball flew just over the Flamengo crossbar. In stoppage time, goalkeeper Laisla made a great save to keep the score tied in the first half.

After the break, Botafogo was awarded a penalty after just three minutes. Basílio stepped up to take the penalty and scored the second goal for the black and white team, making it 2-1.

After the goal, the red-and-black team tried to attack, but were met by strong marking from their opponents, who often stopped the game with fouls. In the 29th minute, the red-and-black team was awarded a free kick on the left side of the box. Kethilyn took the shot directly, and the ball sailed over the goal.

The red-and-black team's main plays were on the left flank, especially with Duda Rodrigues. Ana Papel, who replaced Mariana, was also a good option on the right. The Meninas da Gávea fought for an equalizer until the final minutes, but ended up losing the regional derby.
