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.
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.
A big name from Mengão's youth academy scores a beautiful goal and decides the duel in the state championship, placing the club among the top three in the standings.

Flamengo confirmed the strength of the home factor and defeated Boavista 1-0, this Saturday (20), in the eighth round of the Campeonato Carioca Sub-20. The winning goal came only in the 35th minute of the second half, in a beautiful shot by Ryan Roberto , who came off the bench to decide.
With the result, Rubro-Negro reached 16 points, taking third place in the table, with a record of five wins, one draw, and two losses . The competition leader is Vasco, with 21 points so far.
Flamengo dominated possession and controlled the game from the start, but struggled to create clear-cut chances. Ryan Roberto's introduction early in the second half changed the landscape . The forward became the team's main offensive weapon and, from outside the box, hit a beautiful shot to secure the victory.
Coach Bruno Pivetti will have important absences in the next games. Defenders João Victor and Iago were called up by Ramon Menezes for the U-20 World Cup , which takes place in Chile, between September 27 and October 19. Both will be presented next Monday (22), at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis.
The Garotos do Ninho return to the field next Saturday (27) , when they face Sampaio Corrêa, at 3 pm (Brasília time), for the ninth round of the Carioca Sub-20. The match will be broadcast live on Flamengo TV on YouTube.
The player was on loan to Mengão, who will make no effort to keep him on the team, which will make him return to the São Paulo club.

U-20 World Cup winner and considered one of Tite's favorites during his time at Flamengo, midfielder Fabiano is leaving the club. On loan from Audax-SP, the 20-year-old had a contract until October 2025 , but Flamengo opted not to exercise the purchase option included in the contract.
Thus, Fabiano ends his career with Mais Querido. He only played four matches for the professional team , although his most memorable moments came in the youth ranks, where he won his major titles with the club.
The youngster won the U-20 Libertadores and the U-20 World Cup this year, in addition to being part of the main squad that won the 2025 Campeonato Carioca . His departure was reported by the FlaZoeiro profile, in partnership with FlaBase.
The midfielder last played in the Campeonato Carioca, playing 67 minutes in the 3-1 loss to Botafogo in the penultimate round. In the following match, against Nova Iguaçu, he didn't leave the bench in the 1-0 victory . In the Club World Cup, against Barcelona (ESP), he came on for the final 12 minutes of the 2-2 draw, but didn't take a penalty in the final. In the U-20 Libertadores final, he played 32 minutes.
Fabiano's peak at Flamengo came in 2024, during Tite's tenure. The coach promoted him to the first team, including him for several Brasileirão matches . At the time, the coach publicly praised the defensive midfielder's quality, reinforcing his confidence in the youngster.
