Last Friday (26), Flamengo drew with Fluminense in normal time, 1-1. The Mais Querido was crowned State champion after winning the penalty shootout 3-0, with goals from Stella, Jayanne and Andressa. The title crowned the spectacular performance of the Meninas da Gávea, who had 89% success in the competition: 11 wins and two draws.

This year's victory is Flamengo's sixth overall. In 13 games, the "Mais Querido" (the most beloved team) scored 74 goals (best attack) and conceded only four (best defense). It's worth noting that the team won the Guanabara Cup, the name given to the first stage, for the second time. In other words, they dominated Rio de Janeiro.

Pimenta scored 15 times and was the team's and tournament's top scorer. Star player Darlene found the net 11 times (including in the semifinals and finals), but also stood out for her assists: 14 in total. The defense shone, keeping nine clean sheets.
