After a promising start, Flamengo managed to open up a two-goal lead on two occasions, but ended up losing 5-4 to Botafogo in the first leg of the Campeonato Carioca Sub-17 final . The Rubro-Negro will play the return leg at home and will have to win the second leg by two goals or more to be crowned champion. In the event of a one-goal win, the title will be decided on penalties.
Flamengo scored the first goal after just 50 seconds, with a shot from Jhefinho, from the edge of the area . The pace continued strong and the second goal came in the 8th minute, after a combination between Diego Guimarães and João Vitor who crossed low for Luiz Guilherme to finish.
Botafogo's first attack only happened at 10 minutes. Then, Eduardo Clasen made a good save from a free kick from the opponent on the left. At 16 minutes, João Vitor entered the middle of the area dribbling past the opposing defense, but missed the shot that went straight at the goalkeeper.
After a dangerous play on the right side of the attack, Botafogo was awarded a free kick, this time on the left. Eduardo Clasen made another good save on the shot, at 22 minutes. In the next play, in a fast break with great speed, João Vitor advanced on the left and crossed low. No one was there to finish. On the rebound, Ryan Roberto crossed from the right and the opposing defense cleared.
Penalty awarded to Botafogo, who reduced the deficit in the 31st minute. The following minute, Diego Guimarães crossed from the right and Luiz Guilherme almost reached the ball inside the penalty area. In the 34th minute, Lucas Falcone made a long pass to Ryan Roberto on the left. The forward dribbled past the defender and shot into the right corner, with no chance of defense: 3 x 1.
After Rubro-Negro came close to scoring a fourth goal at least three times, it was Botafogo who reduced the deficit again in the 42nd minute, with an individual play. In the 40th minute, Eduardo Clasen made an incredible save from a free kick, sending a ball that went into the left corner for a corner kick.
Botafogo came back for the second half better in the match and tied the match at 5 minutes. Then, Eduardo Clasen had to intervene again, sending a shot over the goal line from outside the area. The opponent's fourth goal came soon after, at 14 minutes.
Flamengo 's equalizer was scored by João VItor, who took advantage of a rebound from a cross from the right and struck hard in the 26th minute. Three minutes later, the red-and-black team conceded the fifth goal, from a free kick. In the 41st minute, Eduardo Clasen saved a shot from inside the area, clearing it for a corner with his feet. Coach Daniel Franklin's team tried to react until the end, but the fifth goal was not achieved.

Flamengo's U-20 team demonstrated superiority by defeating Maricá 3-1 in an away match for the second round of the Taça Guanabara. Matheus Gonçalves was a standout performer, directly involved in two goals in the first half. The first half featured three decisive plays that secured the Rubro-Negro's two-goal lead at the end of the first 45 minutes.

In the 43rd minute, he pounced on a loose ball inside the box and fired a precise shot into the right corner, leaving the opposing goalkeeper with no chance . Just before halftime, Daniel Sales made a run down the right and crossed for Guilherme, who capitalized on the Maricá defense's mistake and doubled the lead.
Early in the second half, Maricá threatened with a free kick that sailed over the crossbar . However, in the seventh minute, the home team managed to pull one back through Wendel, who pounced on a rebound after a shot hit the post. Maricá responded quickly: Daniel Sales combined passes with Guilherme and delivered a cross that nearly resulted in a goal, saved by the opposing goalkeeper on two consecutive occasions.
In the 17th minute, Guilherme was fouled on the edge of the box, and Matheus Gonçalves took the shot , but the ball hit the crossbar. Flamengo sealed the victory in the 23rd minute with a quick counterattack: João Alves passed the ball accurately to Guilherme, who crossed for Iago to finish with precision, making it 3-1. With the advantage, the Rio de Janeiro team controlled the result until the final whistle.
The Rubro-Negro U-20 team returns to action on the 16th at 10 a.m. , facing Bangu in Moça Bonita in the third round of the Guanabara Cup. The team is looking to maintain its positive streak and strengthen its campaign in the state competition.

As is customary, Flamengo was once again impacted by the Brazilian national team's call-ups . For the under-20 team's friendlies against Paraguay on August 8th and 11th, coach Ramon Menezes had called up four Flamengo players. However, after a request from the board, two of them were withdrawn .
Iago and João Victor, both defenders who came through the club's youth system, were removed from the list following an official request from Flamengo. Goalkeeper Lucas Furtado and midfielder Lorran remain confirmed and are expected to report to the national team this Monday (04), in São Paulo. This information comes from the 'Flazoeiro' channel.
According to the website 'Coluna do Fla', the club's request was motivated by two main factors: the U-20 Club World Cup on August 23, when Flamengo will face Barcelona (ESP). Furthermore, Filipe Luís wants to count on the defenders for the main team's upcoming matches in the Brazilian Championship. Therefore, Iago and João Victor remain training at Ninho do Urubu.
Brazil faces Paraguay again after their meeting at the South American Under-20 Championship earlier this year. Brazil won 3-1 in Caracas, securing early qualification for the Under-20 World Cup.
Since then, Ramon Menezes' team has played three friendlies in June in Egypt: a 4-0 victory over South Korea and draws with Iceland (0-0) and Saudi Arabia (1-1) . These matches are part of the preparation for the U-20 World Cup, where Brazil will seek its first title under the new generation.
