The black and white team, benefiting from the better campaign, advanced to the final leaving Cruzmaltino behind.
The duel in the first half was marked by a truncated confrontation between the teams, highlighting Fluminense's fierce stance. Meninas da Gávea faced a series of fouls, without the referee punishing the opponent with cards. The tricolor had a good opportunity with a header, with Bárbara making a masterful save to avoid the goal. Flamengo also created promising chances, with Gisseli finishing over the goal. Shortly afterwards, Duda capitalized on an opponent's error, hitting the post with his attempt.
In the second half, Flamengo entered the field with less concentration and, unfortunately, conceded the goal in the first minutes. In the 5th minute, a cross in the area deflected between the players, finding Lurdinha, who scored the only goal of the match. However, despite the goal, it was not enough to lead Fluminense to the much-desired classification. The stage is set for an exciting clash, where Flamengo will seek, with determination and technique, to win the title that will crown their brilliant trajectory in the tournament.
