Flamengo U-20 showed its strength once again away from home. Playing at CFA Laudo Natel, in Cotia, the Crias do Ninho made the most of their good form this season and beat São Paulo in a direct confrontation in the middle of the table. With the result, the team led by Nuno reached 19 points and took fourth place in the Brazilian Championship in the category. Now, the red-and-black boys are just four points behind the leader Palmeiras.


The victory also breaks an uncomfortable streak of away defeats in the championship, in addition to reinforcing the protagonism of names like Lorran and Shola, who have been recurring highlights in the season. The game started at an even pace, with both teams trying to control the midfield. Flamengo had more possession, but faced resistance from the tricolor defense until the 21st minute, when Lorran took advantage of a loose ball in the area and opened the scoring.

THE SCARE AND THE TURN OF THE NEST BOYS




Shortly after, at 26 minutes, Paulinho equalized for São Paulo with a shot from outside the area, in one of the rare moments in which the São Paulo team managed to effectively threaten Flamengo 's defense. Even with the draw, the visitors did not give up. Still in the first half, Lorran almost scored the second with a shot that hit the crossbar, showing that Rubro-Negro still had the energy to go for more.

A MUCH BETTER GAME FOR THE MOST LOVED ONE

In the second half, Flamengo came back stronger. The team moved up the lines, reduced the spaces and started to surround the opponent's area more. In the 5th minute, Shola made a great individual play, got past three defenders and almost scored, if not for the clearance on the line. The Nigerian, however, did not take long to score. In the 28th minute, after a move on the left, he hit a powerful shot that was unstoppable for the São Paulo goalkeeper, sealing the red-and-black victory away from home.

In addition to the importance of the victory, the performance of the red-and-black team demonstrated the maturity of the group, which knew how to control the pace of the match and withstand the pressure in the final minutes. Defensive consistency was another positive point. Despite conceding a goal, Flamengo managed to neutralize São Paulo's main offensive actions, especially in the second half, when the opponent practically did not create any clear chances.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti announced this Wednesday (1st) the call-up of the Brazilian National Team for the friendlies against South Korea and Japan, which will be played in October during the FIFA World Cup.

All of them stand out in their teams and earned the opportunity to join the green and yellow group.


RETURNS OF RODRYGO AND VINICIUS JR


Among the main highlights of the list are the returns of Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr., both from Real Madrid, who are once again important players in the national team's attack. Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson, however, was sidelined due to an injury suffered in the English club's last game.

Facing Flamengo away from home has been a tough challenge for Cruzeiro in the Brasileirão . The last time the Minas Gerais team beat Flamengo in Rio de Janeiro in the national competition was in November 2010, almost 15 years ago.


Since then, the teams have faced each other 11 times at Maracanã (or in matches hosted by Flamengo ) in the tournament, and the record is largely favorable to the Mais Querido: eight wins and three draws. During this period, historic defeats stand out, such as the 5-1 victory in 2011 , as well as important triumphs for the red-and-blacks' campaigns. The most recent was a 2-1 victory in June 2024.
