Undefeated throughout the competition, Mengão took a big step towards the final of the U-17 Women's Carioca Championship this Saturday (24). Away from home, at Telê Santana Stadium, Mais Querido beat Rio de Janeiro 3-1 and depends on a simple draw to advance. The goals were scored by Fabiane, Ingrid Santos and an own goal.

The game

Determined to secure the victory in the opening 45 minutes, Flamengo started with a devastating and impactful display. The Meninas da Gávea's poise resulted in Fabiane's early goal. After Bruna's shot, the defender pounced on the rebound and slotted it into the opponent's net: 1-0. The second goal came from a corner kick. The team's top scorer, Ingrid Santos, headed in to extend the lead. Before halftime, the opposing defender scored an own goal, and the Rubro-Negro team felt even more at ease with the 3-0 lead.

In the second half, the team managed the result, coach Sergio Carnevele made some changes and Rio de Janeiro pulled one back almost in stoppage time from a set piece: 3-1. The scenario is completely favorable for the return match, which will be held in Gávea, next week.
