Flamengo's U-20 women's team achieved another excellent result on Sunday morning (10), defeating Real Heips 3-0 in Gávea, in the qualifying phase of the Campeonato Carioca. With the victory, the Meninas da Gávea remain undefeated in the competition. The goals were scored by Ana Papel, twice, and Campos, who closed the score.
The game started off with a bang for Flamengo . In the first minute, Condorelli launched an attack, and Ana Papel capitalized on a defensive error to open the scoring. With the advantage, the team controlled possession, but the rest of the first half was marked by few clear-cut opportunities , maintaining the 1-0 lead until halftime.
In the second half, the red-and-black team stepped up their game and quickly extended their lead . In the 12th minute, Isa Kotait crossed into the box, Ana Papel's header was saved by the goalkeeper, but she capitalized on the rebound to score her second goal of the match.
With the game under control, coach Filipe Torres made changes that made the team faster. The third goal came from a beautiful collective move: Condorelli delivered another precise pass, Raika and Nina exchanged passes, and Campos finished, sealing the 3-0 victory.
Flamengo returns to the field on Wednesday (13) to face Corinthians , away from home, in the first leg of the semi-final of the Brazilian Women's Under-20 Championship. The clash will be decisive for the team's aspirations in the national competition.
The defender continues to improve physically and should return to the field against Internacional in the Brasileirão, after a six-match absence.

Since the victory over Fluminense on July 20, Flamengo's defense has faced a challenge in the absence of Danilo. The defender has missed six consecutive games, including the Copa do Brasil round of 16, but is showing significant progress in his recovery and is expected to return to training with the squad later this week.
Despite the progress, his participation against Internacional, this Wednesday (13), at Maracanã, for the Libertadores , is ruled out. The technical committee opts for caution, aiming to avoid the risk of new injury.
The internal expectation is that Danilo will be available for the match against Colorado, valid for the Brazilian Championship, next Sunday (17), at 6:30 pm, at Beira-Rio. If the return is confirmed, the defender's presence will bring more stability to the defensive system and allow strategic rest for Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira, who have been playing without rest since his injury.
Without Danilo, the central defender duo has started all six recent games , amassing 540 minutes of unsubstituted play. Their teammate's return is seen as crucial to relieving the strain and offering coach Filipe Luís new options.
During the period without the defender, Flamengo faced crucial challenges. In addition to the Copa do Brasil match against Atlético-MG, which ended in elimination, the team played four Brasileirão matches, winning three and drawing one.
The sole decision of the continental tournament takes place on November 29, in Peru, repeating the stage of the 2019 final won by Flamengo over River Plate.

On Monday afternoon (11), Conmebol confirmed that the 2025 Copa Libertadores da América final will be played at the Monumental Stadium in Lima, Peru, on November 29.

The arena, which belongs to the University Club and seats approximately 80,000 spectators , was chosen by the organization after the Peruvian capital had already been confirmed as the host city in April. Brasília and Montevideo were also in the running, but were left out of the final selection.

Former player Felipe Melo, currently a commentator for Grupo Globo , predicted the outcome of the Copa Libertadores da América and pointed out that the champion of the edition could come from the clash between Flamengo and Internacional. During his participation in the program Fechamento, on SporTV, last Sunday (10), the former midfielder also highlighted Botafogo and Palmeiras as strong contenders for the continental title.
"Saying who will beat the champion is very complicated. Who has the best chance? For me, Flamengo, Botafogo, and Palmeiras. Botafogo is growing, and they've got players coming in who are already making a difference. And Palmeiras always comes through. I think we'll indeed have another Brazilian final," he declared.
Felipe Melo emphasized that, given the crossover of the knockout stages, the team that qualifies from the duel between Flamengo and Colorado will have a good chance of reaching the final: "I think whoever gets past Flamengo and Inter will go on to win the final. Based on what's happening, I'd put those three— Palmeiras, Flamengo, and Botafogo—as the ones with the best chances ," he stated.
On the same side of the bracket, in addition to the two Brazilian teams, are Cerro Porteño-PAR, Estudiantes-ARG, Fortaleza, Racing-ARG, Peñarol-URU, and Vélez Sarsfield-ARG. For the commentator, this scenario increases the prospects of a Brazilian team advancing to the final.
The first game of the round of 16 between Flamengo and Internacional takes place this Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm , at Maracanã. The return match will be played on the 20th, at Beira-Rio.
