Playing at home and behind closed doors, Flamengo's adult futsal team beat Vasco da Gama 7-4.

The match, played on the court of the Hélio Maurício gymnasium, at the Gávea headquarters, this Wednesday (2/10), started evenly, with both teams making good plays. The game was valid for the penultimate round of the first phase of the 2008 State Championship.

Vasco took the lead, opening the scoring with a penalty kick. Flamengo then scored two beautiful goals, turning the score around. Vasco responded and scored the equalizer.

The red-and-blacks, warriors, didn't allow their rivals to get the better of them and opened up a three-goal lead (6-3). Vasco managed to reduce the deficit, but were no match for the home team, who showed superiority in their plays.

Flamengo returns to the court next Friday (24/10), against Grajaú, starting at 20 pm, in Gávea.
