In a match valid for the 7th round of the Guanabara Cup, Mengão U20 drew 0-0 with Volta Redonda, in Gávea. Despite the result, Flamengo remains unbeaten and maintains the lead in the championship with 19 points. The next game for the regional championship will be on Saturday (27), against Vasco, away from home.
The game
The first stage was marked by a lot of balance between the teams. Despite a lot of study on both sides, space did not appear in the opposing defense, which created a lot of difficulty in creating Mengão's plays. Goalkeeper Raphael didn't work either, as the red and black defense knew how to hold back Volta Redonda's momentum.
The first good chance came from the feet of Rodriguinho, who swung at the marker, found an opening and shot with danger over the goal. Then, 13 minutes into the 2nd half, Pedro Leão found Victor Silva between the lines, who dominated the ball into the middle of the area. The ball was left for Lucas Oliveira to risk with a well-placed shot, but it was saved by the goalkeeper.
Coach Raphael Bahia's conversation was good at halftime, as Flamengo returned to be more offensive. In the 18th minute, Victor Silva received the ball on the left, cut to the middle and hit the ball hard into the middle of the goal. Then in the 23rd minute, after good triangulation in midfield, Thiago Medeiros dominated in front of the penalty area but threw the chance to open the scoring.
Again, Rodriguinho took responsibility and created danger when he had freedom on the right. The attacker dragged, dribbled one, took it to the middle and hit hard, forcing the goalkeeper to make a good save to save Volta Redonda. In stoppage time, Rodriguinho dominated and hit firmly towards Isaque, who entered the second stage. The attacker adjusted and volleyed, but the goalkeeper made a good save.

Flamengo has signed 15-year-old goalkeeper Nicolas, who previously played for Avaí. Born in February 2010, the young goalkeeper stands 6'4" tall and is projected to grow to 6'7" . According to the FlaZoeiro profile, Flamengo acquired 10% of the player's economic rights, with a purchase option of up to 70%. The transaction value was not disclosed.
Nicolas signed a youth development contract with Flamengo until December 2027 and will strengthen the under-15 team. The goalkeeper caught the attention of the Flamengo youth academy due to his technical and physical performance in Avaí's youth academy.
Going through a period of restructuring, Flamengo remains active in the youth academy market. Recently, the club won its second U-20 World Cup with a historic victory over Barcelona , and is already making significant changes to its roster.
Among the departures, midfielder Lorran was traded to Pisa (ITA), while Matheus Gonçalves signed with Al-Ahli (SAU). As for arrivals, Mais Querido signed striker Guilherme Barbosa , formerly of Internacional, and midfielder Kaio Júnior, who was at Juventude after a stint at Vasco.
In addition to Nícolas, the club also signed midfielder Marcelo Portela, a standout from Botafogo, to bolster the under-15 team. The youngster became famous after a viral move , when he performed a disconcerting dribble on Vini Jr., leaving the Real Madrid star sitting on the floor.
Mengão remains active in bringing reinforcements to the youth teams and has signed a deal with the player who was involved in a move with the Real Madrid star.

Flamengo continues to restructure its youth academy and has confirmed another new signing. The club has signed Botafogo star midfielder Marcelo Portela to bolster its under-15 squad . The youngster became famous after a viral move, when he pulled off a stunning dribble on Vini Jr., leaving the Real Madrid star sitting on the floor.
The incident took place in July 2024 , during a futsal game at Canto do Rio, in Niterói, where Vini took his first steps in football at the age of seven. On that occasion, Marcelo Portela not only outplayed the 2024 world player of the year, but also scored the goal in the sequence of the play .
Despite the dribble, Vini took it all in stride: he laughed at the play, congratulated the young talent, and even posed for photos with him after the match . Information about the club's new signing was initially reported by the FlaZoeiro and FlaBase pages.
Because he was born in 2010 and is not yet of legal age to sign a professional contract, Marcelo Portela signed a youth development contract with Flamengo . The agreement also provides for a division of rights with Botafogo, his previous club.
While watching the incident with Marcelo Portela continue to resonate, Vini Jr. is enjoying some downtime. Suspended from the match against Chile and not called up by Carlo Ancelotti , the striker took advantage of his time off to relax in Marbella, Spain, where he was spotted cruising on a yacht.
Even with the title won over Barcelona at Maracanã two weeks ago, Mengão continues to 'clean up' the youth team

Flamengo's under-20 team won its second Club World Cup title in the category on August 23, defeating Barcelona (ESP) on penalties. Shortly after the title, the board began a comprehensive overhaul of the youth squad , which has already resulted in the departure of more than 20 players.
According to information from YouTuber Flazoeiro in partnership with Flabase, 23 players have left the club in recent months . Because part of the negotiations involves buyout clauses, Flamengo could earn more than R$100 million if the teams choose to keep the players.
The most prominent names among those who said goodbye were Lorran and Matheus Gonçalves, considered great promises from the red-black youth teams and who ended up playing in the main team led by Filipe Luís.
Flamengo also saw significant departures from its professional squad. Zenit (RUS) paid Gerson's release clause, paying €25 million (approximately R$160 million) upfront. Wesley was also traded to Roma (ITA) for €25 million, and Victor Hugo agreed to a loan deal with Santos, valid until July 2026.
