Playing in Gávea, Flamengo U-20 started at a disadvantage in the semifinals of the Octávio Pinto Guimarães Tournament (OPG). In a balanced game with a lot of competition in the midfield, the team led by Mário Jorge lost 1-0 to Fluminense, last Saturday (28). Now, they will have to seek classification away from home.
The only goal of the game came early in the second half, after both teams played an intense first half with chances for both sides. Despite having more possession and offensive volume, Flamengo was unable to break through the tricolor blockade and finished the game with the score at zero . The match marked another chapter in the restructuring experienced by the red-black youth team, which has already recorded 13 departures in the U-20 team alone.
Even with the changes, Flamengo showed competitiveness and created good opportunities, but were stopped by the opposing goalkeeper. Flamengo entered the field with Eduardo Jung; Guilherme, Iago, Felipe Vieira and Ítalo; Luis Aucélio, Lucas Vieira and Lorran; Pablo, Rafael Couto and Bill. The lineup was highlighted by the presence of Lorran, the team's main playmaker throughout the match.
In the first few minutes, Bill had a good chance after a pass from Lucas Vieira, invaded the area and fell after being contacted by the defender. The referee, however, did not see any foul and let play continue. The play generated complaints from the red-black bench. Fluminense responded shortly after, with a dangerous shot from outside the area. In the 21st minute, Lorran caused danger with an individual play. The best opportunity of the first half, however, fell to Flamengo again: Bill appeared free in the 26th minute, but shot straight at the goalkeeper.
With the first half tied 0-0, Flamengo came back from the break trying to impose itself. In the first few minutes, Pablo Lucio appeared well after a play by Lorran, but his shot was weak. Shortly after, in the 9th minute, Fluminense took advantage of a defensive mistake and opened the scoring: 1-0. The goal cooled the red-and-black momentum. Despite keeping possession of the ball and trying to control the game, the team found it very difficult to break through the tricolor defense, which closed in on its defense and relied on counterattacks.
With Arrascaeta suspended and key absences, Filipe Luís is betting on a fast attack and confirms Jorginho's return to the starting lineup

Flamengo is ready to face Internacional this Wednesday (13), at Maracanã , for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. Coach Filipe Luís confirmed the entry of Luiz Araújo in place of Arrascaeta, who is suspended, and promoted the return of Jorginho to the starting lineup.
Without the Uruguayan number 10, the red-black team will take to the field with: Rossi; Royal, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Jorginho, Allan; Luiz Araújo, Plata, Samuel Lino and Pedro.
The main new addition is Jorginho, who returns after serving a suspension in the Brasileirão victory over Mirassol. Arrascaeta, on the other hand, is out due to an accumulation of yellow cards in the continental competition.
In addition to Arrascaeta, Flamengo will be without Erick Pulgar (right foot surgery), De La Cruz (left knee injury), and Danilo (right thigh injury). The final roster could still be surprising, as Filipe Luís has opted for strategic cuts due to the excess players on the roster.
The match between Flamengo and Internacional is scheduled for 9:30 pm (Brasília time), with live broadcast on Rede Globo, on open TV, and on Disney+, via streaming. The return duel takes place next Wednesday (20), at Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre.
Mengão purchased the space to build its own arena and the company will pay around 15% of the value to Caixa Econômica Federal.

Flamengo's own stadium project gained direct participation from Companhia Carioca de Parcerias e Investimentos (CCPAR) in the preliminary agreement signed between the club, the Rio de Janeiro City Hall, and Caixa Econômica Federal. Specializing in concessions and partnerships, the municipal public company will be responsible for investing R$29.2 million, approximately 15% of the R$199.6 million earmarked for the Gasômetro land acquisition.
The amount will be allocated as financial compensation to Caixa, the former owner of the space through the Porto Maravilha Real Estate Investment Fund , which was expropriated by the City for the auction that resulted in Flamengo 's purchase. This information is from GE.
Flamengo will receive the majority of the amount: R$170 million . This amount includes the R$138 million already paid in the 2023 auction, plus R$7.9 million for the judicial investigation, and an additional R$23.6 million, which will be paid in five installments.
Despite progress in negotiations, the project still faces obstacles. Removing the gas pipelines and clearing the land remain the responsibility of the City Hall . Governor Cláudio Castro assured the website 'MundoBola Flamengo' that the municipality is committed to these steps.
At Flamengo, the topic is being treated cautiously. The Deliberative Council is preparing to discuss ways to secure the necessary resources without compromising the institution's financial health . Contrary to what had been reported, the topic of the new stadium did not come up at the last CoDe meeting.
Teams face each other this Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm, seeking a decisive advantage for the return game and keeping the continental dream alive
