Danubio x Flamengo: where to watch live and time - 2nd Round Libertadores U -20

O Flamengo sub-20 encerra neste sábado (11) sua trajetória na fase classificatória da Taça Guanabara, enfrentando o Volta Redonda às 15h, no Estádio José Bastos Padilha, na Gávea. Vice-líder com 22 pontos, o Rubro-Negro ainda sonha com o título da primeira fase, mas depende de uma combinação de resultados.

Para levantar a taça, precisa vencer o Voltaço e torcer para que o Vasco, líder com 25 pontos, seja derrotado pelo Bangu no Estádio Nivaldo Pereira. Além disso, o Mais Querido precisa tirar uma diferença de três gols no saldo.

Mesmo sem o título, a equipe já tem vaga garantida nas quartas de final do Campeonato Carioca Sub-20. Em caso de empate, o time assegura a segunda colocação, já que apenas o Botafogo, com 19 pontos, ainda pode alcançar sua pontuação, mas os rubro-negros têm vantagem de três gols no saldo. 

REGULAMENTO DAS QUARTAS DE FINAL

As quartas de final serão disputadas em jogos de ida e volta, com os clubes de melhor campanha decidindo em casa e tendo a vantagem de se classificar em caso de dois resultados iguais. A mesma regra se aplica às semifinais.

Na grande decisão, o time de melhor desempenho geral terá o mando do segundo jogo, mas não contará com a vantagem do empate, se a igualdade persistir, o título será decidido nos pênaltis. O formato valoriza o desempenho ao longo da Taça Guanabara, tornando cada ponto e gol decisivos para o posicionamento final na tabela.

EQUIPE FINALIZA PREPARAÇÃO 

A manhã desta sexta-feira (10) foi de trabalho intenso no CT George Helal, onde o técnico Bruno Pivetti comandou o último treino antes do confronto. A atividade focou ajustes táticos e situações de bola parada, visando neutralizar as principais armas do adversário.

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.

JEWEL FROM PARÁ WITH RED AND BLACK DNA

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.

DISCOVERED IN A TOURNAMENT IN TOCANTINS

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.

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 GAME

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.

RESULTS IN OTHER CATEGORIES

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.
