Flamengo took a giant step towards reaching the grand final of the Campeonato Carioca Feminino. On Sunday afternoon (16), at the Nivaldo Pereira Stadium, the Rubro-Negro beat Vasco 3-0 in the first leg and opened up an excellent lead. The goals were scored by Leidiane, Monalisa and Duda. 

The game

Even away from home, the Mais Querido didn't compromise on its style, pressing from the start and opening the scoring in the tenth minute. Crivelari sent Sole through, who challenged the goalkeeper and won. Leidiane hit the rebound and created a stunning shot. Before halftime, the team created good chances through Duda and Jucinara, but failed to extend their lead. 

In the second half, the situation remained the same, and the second goal came in the third minute: Monalisa capitalized on a pass from Thaisa at the edge of the box and bulged the net. Daiane then headed the ball against the post, and Sole nearly scored. In the 31st minute, the Argentine split the ball, and the ball fell to Duda, who controlled it and made no mistake: 3-0. Comfortable on the scoreboard, Luis Andrade's team held on until the final whistle and now only depends on itself next week, in Gávea, to secure a place in the final.
