In the ninth round of the Brasileirão Feminino, Flamengo went to Belo Horizonte and beat América-MG, 2-1, on Monday night (6), at Arena Independência. With two goals from Cristiane, Meninas da Gávea won their third consecutive victory and are already in sixth place in the championship with 14 points.

The game

In the first minutes of the match, Flamengo managed to maintain possession of the ball in the offensive field and immediately looked for the first goal. At eight minutes, Meninas da Gávea created the first clear chance. In a corner in the area, the ball fell to Cristiane, who hit it and the ball went very close to the goalkeeper's left post.

At 18', another good arrival from the red and black team. Duda intercepted a ball in the middle, played with Cristiane, invaded the area from the left and hit hard. The goalkeeper put it in for a corner. Afterwards, Glaucia made a beautiful pass to Gisseli, she invaded the area and hit it over the goal.

After insisting so much, Mengão opened the scoring with her, mom Cris! The top scorer received a deep pass behind the América-MG defense, invaded the area and hit the goalkeeper's exit: 1-0.

In the last minute of regulation time in the first half, América left all the same. Isadora brought down Soraya inside the area and the referee awarded the penalty. The attacker herself took the penalty and scored the goal for the Minas Gerais team: 1 to 1. The teams went into the break with equality.

When returning to the second half, América-MG was more with the ball in the attacking field, but it was Mengão who ended up scoring the second, again with Cristiane in the 9th minute. Duda made a good move on the right and crossed just enough for the number 11 shirt to head with style against the goalkeeper: 2 to 1.

After the goal, Meninas da Gávea continued to value possession of the ball and it was little threatened by America. In the final minutes, Mais Querido knew how to manage the result well and left the field with the third consecutive victory in the competition.

In a press conference at Ninho do Urubu, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi spoke about his desire to be called up to the Argentina national team , the current world champion. Despite his dream, the goalkeeper made it clear that his priority remains Flamengo.

Rossi on his dream of joining the Argentine national team: "My job is for Flamengo"

"Obviously, I've always wanted to be called up. I think Brazilian football is very strong, not only in South America, but worldwide as well. In the last call-up, there were players from here. But I'm not thinking about that right now . I think that if I do my job well, that call-up could come," Rossi stated.

TOTAL FOCUS ON FLAMENGO

The Argentine stressed that he keeps his feet on the ground and that his main goal is to continue showing consistency for the Rubro-Negro , who have the best defense in the Brasileirão, conceding only 10 goals in 22 games. At Maracanã, the Mais Querido conceded only three goals.

"I'm in no rush, because my job is for Flamengo , day to day, game to game. My biggest focus is to maintain this streak so that the call-up can come. Of course I have that desire, but I don't treat it as a requirement . I'm Flamengo's goalkeeper, I'm responsible for Flamengo. If the call-up comes, I'll welcome it," he added.

INCOME AND TITLES WITH THE MANTLE

Since joining Flamengo in 2023, Rossi has already won four titles. Last season, he was a key player in the undefeated Carioca Championship and also played in the Copa do Brasil victory. In 2025, he maintained his starting spot in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Estadual . In total, he has represented Flamengo in 125 official matches, establishing himself as a pillar of the team.
