The Boys of the Nest were lined up with: Gabriel Batista; Kleber, Bernardo, André Baumer and Moraes; Hugo Moura and Théo; Jean Lucas, João Pedro, Lucas Silva; and Loran.

In the match, the main squad defeated the Ninho Boys 3-1. In the opening seconds of the match, Marcelo Cirino opened the scoring with a cross from the left wing that found the back of the net. Leandro Damião then headed home. Midfielder João Pedro pulled one back for the Ninho Boys in the first half of the training match.

In the second half, Damião scored the stunning goal of the day. Ronaldo, who replaced Márcio Araújo, played a beautiful one-two with Rodinei in the center of the field, who found Berrío, who replaced Marcelo Cirino, wide on the right flank. The Colombian striker drew the defenders and created space for Rodinei to run in. He received the ball unmarked and passed it to the red-and-black number 18, who found himself one-on-one with Gabriel Batista and finished with precision past the goalkeeper.

The activities of this Thursday (09) marked the beginning of the red-black preparation for the classic of this Sunday (12), against Botafogo, in a match valid for the fourth round of the Guanabara Cup. The confrontation will be played at the Nilton Santos Stadium, with the ball rolling from 19:30h.
