Last Saturday (21), Mengão thrashed Bangu 7-0, with goals from Laís (2), Alice, Isabela Nunes, Kaylane Vieira, Leane and Sofia, and lifted the trophy for the first edition of the Copa Rio Feminina Sub-17. The title rewards the work carried out by coach Filipe Torres at the helm of the category and is the first of a very promising generation, which has the red-black DNA.

The unprecedented victory was built game by game, in a points-based format, and featured unforgettable moments for the Meninas da Gávea. In six games, the Mais Querido won five, drew one, and scored 29 goals. An undisputed campaign. 

Alice scored seven goals and was the team's and tournament's top scorer. Laís (5) had a great performance, as did left-back/midfielder Isabela Nunes (4). Kaylane Vieira, who returned from the Brazilian national team during the tournament, was crucial. The defense, which leaked twice, was brilliant thanks to Cecília, Emilly, and Sofia. Midfielders Dudinha and Larissa, and winger Leane, were crucial in every match. The team worked perfectly.
