The game
In the first minute of play, Flamengo's first chance at goal came from full-back Ayrton, who took a free kick. The ball deflected off the wall and sailed just wide of the goal. After that, the match continued in a lukewarm fashion, with Flamengo trying to find space in Avaí's defense, while their opponents managed more shots, including a free kick that hit the post in the 18th minute. Then, in the 30th minute, Flamengo opened the scoring. Emerson received the ball on the left and passed it to Éverton, who crossed low to Canteros; the Argentine backheel passed to Alan Patrick, who controlled the ball, cut past the defender, and fired a powerful shot into the net.
In the second half, Flamengo began to take the initiative. Five minutes in, Kayke got the stadium celebrating by shooting a cross-shot that hit the outside of the net. Four minutes later, the celebrations were in full swing. After a cross from the right, Alan Patrick controlled the ball at the edge of the box and back-heeled it to Armero; the full-back hit a cross-shot, and the ball ended up at Kayke's feet inside the penalty area, who made no mistake and extended the lead. On the eve of the match, the striker had declared that he would like his first goal to be in Natal, the city where he shone for ABC. Flamengo continued to dominate the match and suffered a scare from Avaí only in the 29th minute, when Paulo Victor made two great saves from close-range shots. Soon after, Kayke scored another, reassuring the fans and sealing the score. With great skill, one-on-one with the goalkeeper, the striker remained calm and simply chose the corner: 3-0 Flamengo.
