O JOGO

In the opening minutes, Flamengo pushed forward, had a few good chances to score, but failed to convert. Their dominance intensified after the referee sent off a player from the opposing team. Even so, Flamengo went into halftime dominating the match without managing to open the scoring.

In the final stage, the scenario was different. One of the team's stars of the season, Letícia, received a beautiful pass and made it 1-0. Soon after, other opportunities were created, but without success. With the advantage on the scoreboard, the team began to control the result. In the end, Botafogo came close, but Yasmin defended confidently and secured the victory.
