Flamengo defeated Bahia 2-0 and achieved its fifth victory in the Brazilian Under-20 Championship , on Wednesday afternoon (7), at the José Bastos Padilha Stadium, in Gávea. The team's top scorer in the season, Pedro Leão scored both goals for the red-blacks, both in the second half of the match, and reached 12, in 2025. The next match will be against São Paulo, on Thursday (15/5), at 6 pm, in Cotia.
The team coached by Nuno Campos was not very inspired in the first half and, even so, had the best chances to open the scoring. After the break, the team managed to adjust the pressure and made things much harder for the opponent. The teams set a strong pace after the break and the game's temperature rose. Flamengo ended up coming out on top and scoring twice to finish the match.
At the beginning of the game, Bahia tried to launch an attack, but failed to get many chances. Flamengo quickly increased their play and began to have a greater presence in attack after the 8th minute. At 20 minutes, the Bahian team had a shot over the bar. Five minutes later, another shot from the opponent, this time well defended by Nannetti.
The red-black team came out strong at 28 minutes, in a well-armed counterattack by Mora that Shola finished strongly and the goalkeeper rebounded. Three minutes later, Pedro Leão arrived in good conditions, but was unable to finish efficiently . In another good arrival, Shola passed to Daniel Sales who shot for another good save by the Bahian number 1.
The best play of the first half came in the 44th minute, when Wanderson crossed from the right, Pedro Leão hit a beautiful volley and gave the opposing goalkeeper another hard time . Five minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half of the game.
The game resumed with a higher intensity and quite close. At 16, Wanderson passed to Wallace Yan who invaded the area and was only stopped by the opposing goalkeeper. Then Guilherme had his shot blocked in another play on the right. Soon after, another attack, this time on the left, by Daniel Sales, who crossed and the ball went just past the post.
Flamengo's top scorer for the under-20 team, Pedro Leão scored his 11th goal of the season in the 26th minute. The number 9 took advantage of a great play by Daniel Sales, who invaded the attacking field and passed the ball perfectly for a cross shot. Bahia could have equalized with a free kick in the 20th minute. The ball went just over the crossbar.
With Felipe Vieira coming in for Wanderson, Daniel Sales returned to right-back, his original position, and he got his second assist of the match by making a perfect cross for Pedro Leão's second goal, in the 31st minute.
Coach: Nuno Campos.
The striker is one of the main players in Mengão's youth teams and has secured a contract with a 50 million euro release clause.

Flamengo has officially signed one of its top youth prospects, 16-year-old striker Emanuel Silva de Oliveira , to his first professional contract. A member of the 2009 generation, the youngster, who has excelled in the U-17 team, has signed a three-year contract. This information comes from the FlaBase portal.
The contract establishes a termination fee of 50 million euros (approximately R$312 million at the current exchange rate), an amount that reflects the club's confidence in the athlete's potential and serves as protection against harassment from European clubs.
Born on June 1, 2009, in Marabá, Pará, Emanuel plays as a right winger and stands out for his left-footedness , which allows him to cut inside with ease, creating finishing moves and providing assists. The striker signed a professional contract as soon as he turned 16, the minimum age required by the Pelé Law. Prior to that, since he was 14, Emanuel had been linked to the club through a Sports Training Contract.
The young talent's journey to Ninho do Urubu began in 2019, when he was discovered by Flamengo scouts during the Copa da Integração, a major youth tournament held in Araguaína, Tocantins . Since then, Emanuel has progressed through all the ranks, racking up strong performances and winning titles.
In 2022, he was named Rio de Janeiro's best player in the under-13 category, a recognition that solidified his status as one of the club's brightest prospects. With this new contract, Flamengo reinforces its policy of valuing the club's talented youngsters , betting on another talent who is emerging as a future star of the professional team.
The Ninho boys dominated the game from start to finish and secured a 4-0 victory that kept them among the top three in the state

On an afternoon of total superiority, Flamengo under-20 beat Sampaio Corrêa 4-0 this Saturday (27), in a game valid for the ninth round of the Taça Guanabara, held at CT da Saferj, in Guaratiba (RJ). Without the players who will go to the Under-20 World Cup , the great highlight was striker Douglas, author of two goals. Germano and Guilherme also scored for Rubro-Negro.
The team was on the attack from the opening minutes and quickly opened up a lead . In the 16th minute, Douglas capitalized on a precise pass from Daniel Sales to open the scoring. Shortly thereafter, in the 32nd minute, Germano doubled the lead, again after an assist from Daniel. Still in the first half, in the 37th minute, Guilherme scored with a perfect free kick, turning the victory into a partial rout.
In the second half, Flamengo maintained the pace and after just 5 minutes, they set the score. Douglas received the ball from Pablo and scored his second goal, making it 4-0 . With the result, Rubro-Negro is preparing to face Madureira, next Saturday (4), at 10 am, at Aniceto Moscoso Stadium, for the continuation of the Guanabara Cup.
Saturday was also busy for other Flamengo youth teams. In the Copa Rio U-15, Flamengo drew 1-1 with Fluminense in Xerém . Marcos Pierre scored the red-and-black goal early in the second half.
In the U-16, in the Guilherme Embry Tournament, Flamengo beat Sampaio Corrêa 2-0 , in Saquarema. Anthony and Wallace secured the victory in the second stage. Mengão's U-20 returns to the field on Saturday (4), when the Garotos do Ninho face Madureira, still in the Cariocão of the category.
The 19-year-old player, who scored the goal that won Mengão's U-20 World Cup title in 2024, leaves the club after losing his place and the board's dissatisfaction with his stance.

Flamengo confirmed, this Monday, the termination of the contract of striker Felipe Teresa , 19 years old, who had a contract with the club until July 2026. The player was known for having been the author of the goal that guaranteed Rubro-Negro the title of the U-20 World Cup in 2024 , when the team was commanded by Filipe Luís.
According to information initially released by the Flazoeiro profile, the decision to terminate the contract came from Flamengo itself, motivated by dissatisfaction with the athlete's behavior in training and matches. The incident occurs amid a restructuring of the club's youth squad, which has seen several players leave in recent months.
In 2024, Felipe Teresa played 25 games and scored five goals for the U-20 team. He even came on in the second half of the red-and-black team's penalty shootout victory over Barcelona at the Maracanã , but in the final matches he was only on the bench. Despite being more experienced, the striker lost out to younger players.
Last year, Teresa received an opportunity in the professional team during the Brazilian Championship , in the match against Grêmio , when she came on at the end of the game and scored a goal.
He subsequently played only for the alternate team in the Campeonato Carioca and was never called up to the main squad again. The striker joined Flamengo in 2022, at the age of 15 , after excelling in the Campeonato Paulista with Inter de Limeira.
