In a match valid for the third round of the Campeonato Carioca Feminino, on Saturday afternoon (10), Flamengo won another classic. At the Caio Martins Stadium, in Niterói, Rubro-Negro beat Botafogo 2-1 and reached six points in the competition. The goals were scored by Crivelari and Duda. 

The game

Home advantage had no impact on Flamengo's early performance. Dominating the action and playing in the opponent's half, the Meninas da Gávea created the first opportunity in the second minute. After a cross from Monalisa, Jucinara hit it first time, but the ball went wide. In the twelfth minute, Leidiane made a good individual play and almost scored. The last chance before halftime came from Duda's free kick, but it was unsuccessful. The teams went to the locker room tied.

In the second half, the Mais Querido (the "Most Beloved") started on the attack again and, in the sixth minute, opened the scoring: Crivelari received a beautiful pass from Kaylaine Júnior, burst into the box, and tapped in with skill. Botafogo equalized soon after, but the team led by Mister Luis Andrade didn't give up and kept up the pace. In the 26th minute, Duda came in alone, dribbled past the goalkeeper, and found the back of the net: 2-1. In the 32nd minute, Duda launched a pass, and Crivelari nearly scored the third. In stoppage time, Kaylaine Júnior took off and attempted a shot, but was blocked. At the final whistle, the red-and-blacks celebrated, and three more points were in their possession.
