If Atlético Mineiro helped Flamengo survive the Belo Horizonte Junior Football Cup by beating Guarani in the final round of the qualifying round, this Thursday, the Galo defeated the Rubro-Negro 2-0 in a round of XNUMX match, eliminating the Gávea team from the tournament. After achieving a heroic and unlikely qualification for this stage, coach Paulo Henrique's team returns to Rio de Janeiro already focused on continuing the Taça Rio, the second round of the Carioca Championship in this category. Both goals were scored by striker Wescley, both in the first half.
In the first phase, Flamengo and Atlético had already faced each other, and the Minas Gerais team also came out on top: 2-0. For left-back Jorbison, the red-and-black team fought as best they could and ended up being eliminated, yes, but with their heads held high.
"Unfortunately, it didn't work out. Our qualification really came down to overcoming obstacles in the last round, but we couldn't get past Atlético once again. But we left with our heads held high, knowing that we fought until the end and now it's time to get back to thinking about the State Championship," he said.
After nearly a month of suspension, the Campeonato Carioca de Juniores returns on June 12th. Flamengo faces Madureira away from home at 15 pm. With 19 points, Flamengo is in second place, just one point behind Vasco, the leader, who has 20. Madureira is third with 16. It's worth noting that the competition is played on a points-based basis, and the winner will face Fluminense, the champion of the Taça Guanabara, in the final.
