The game
In the opening minutes, Flamengo looked for spaces in the opposing defense to take the lead. In a tight match, Flamengo controlled the ball more, looking for opportunities. The best chance fell to Éverton, who ran down the left flank and found a clear path, only to be stopped by goalkeeper Martín Silva. Trauco then attempted a shot but was blocked by the defense.
In the 40th minute, Willian Arão delivered a beautiful pass into the box, and Éverton was brought down by Luan, resulting in a penalty. Diego picked up the ball and struck it firmly and skillfully into the middle of the goal, opening the scoring in Volta Redonda.
Mengão returned for the second half trying to maintain the same rhythm. The first good chance for the red-and-blacks came from Diego, who ran down the wing and found Guerrero inside the box. The Peruvian managed to flick a shot straight at Arão's feet, but the shot went over the bar.
Continuing with the strong pace, the Mais Querido had another good opportunity in the 24th minute, when Diego threatened and passed to Réver, who fired a powerful shot that was cleared by the opposing defender on the line. Rafael Vaz then attempted a bicycle kick, and Rômulo nearly chipped it over. Shortly after, the number 35 hit the post after a great pass from Berrío.
Dominating the ball, Flamengo continued to control the clock and seek to break through Vasco's defense. Pressing until the final minutes, the "Mais Querido" gave their opponent no space and managed to leave Raulino de Oliveira with the victory.
