The game

Those who attended the stadium saw a mentally strong Flamengo, feisty, and unbeaten in the tackle, a hallmark of the team throughout the tournament so far. At several points in the first half, the match was tight, with the Red-Blacks trying to create good plays, but to no avail. Solid in defense and solid in midfield, the Meninas da Gávea failed to score and went into halftime tied 0-0.

In the second half, the story changed, and the Mais Querido began to impose itself and dominate. It took time, but their superiority resulted in a goal. In the 30th minute, Janaína hit the crossbar, and on the rebound, Ingrid Santos adjusted and struck powerfully into the corner to put the team ahead: 1-0. With the advantage under control, they just had to wait for the clock to tick down and celebrate the victory, which practically secured their first victory.
