Flamengo beat Fluminense 3-2 in the first match of the Campeonato Carioca under-15 category . The boys from the nest started in front, but were turned around by the tricolor and had to run after it to turn the duel around and have the advantage for the return game.
The game started with a lot of effort, with plays concentrated in the midfield and few chances to score. Despite having more of the ball, Fluminense was unable to create any danger in attack. Nothing very important happened until the water break. Soon after, however, Flamengo scored a great goal. Leonardo Gabriel crossed from the right and Davi Fraga scored with a backheel in the 27th minute.
The advantage on the scoreboard allowed the red-black team to grow in the match and have a greater offensive presence. However, it was the opponent who came close to creating danger just before the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
After the break, Fluminense equalized after just 2 minutes, the second time they attacked, from a corner kick. The second half continued without any important attacking moves until the opponent scored once again in the 15th minute.
Mengão equalized in the 22nd minute, in a well-worked play by Davi Fraga who opened the field for Zé Eduardo to cross to Leonardo Gabriel's head. The ball ended up in the goalkeeper's left corner.
The goal was a great benefit for Zé Eduardo. In another quick attack, defender Samuel launched the number 25, who assisted the equalizer, who ran down the right and touched the ball past the goalkeeper to score Flamengo's third goal, in the 29th minute.
Four minutes later, Zé Eduardo ended up missing an incredible chance, face to face with the goalkeeper, who saved it with his foot. In the last play of the match, Leonardo Gabriel missed another chance face to face with the tricolor goalkeeper.
With goals from Matheus Gonçalves, Guilherme and Iago, Mengão secured an important away victory and returns to the field on the 16th against Bangu

Flamengo's U-20 team demonstrated superiority by defeating Maricá 3-1 in an away match for the second round of the Taça Guanabara. Matheus Gonçalves was a standout performer, directly involved in two goals in the first half. The first half featured three decisive plays that secured the Rubro-Negro's two-goal lead at the end of the first 45 minutes.
Matheus Gonçalves started the action with a shot from outside the box that hit the crossbar. In the 43rd minute, he pounced on a loose ball inside the box and fired a precise shot into the right corner, leaving the opposing goalkeeper with no chance . Just before halftime, Daniel Sales made a run down the right and crossed for Guilherme, who capitalized on the Maricá defense's mistake and doubled the lead.
Early in the second half, Maricá threatened with a free kick that sailed over the crossbar . However, in the seventh minute, the home team managed to pull one back through Wendel, who pounced on a rebound after a shot hit the post. Maricá responded quickly: Daniel Sales combined passes with Guilherme and delivered a cross that nearly resulted in a goal, saved by the opposing goalkeeper on two consecutive occasions.
In the 17th minute, Guilherme was fouled on the edge of the box, and Matheus Gonçalves took the shot , but the ball hit the crossbar. Flamengo sealed the victory in the 23rd minute with a quick counterattack: João Alves passed the ball accurately to Guilherme, who crossed for Iago to finish with precision, making it 3-1. With the advantage, the Rio de Janeiro team controlled the result until the final whistle.
The Rubro-Negro U-20 team returns to action on the 16th at 10 a.m. , facing Bangu in Moça Bonita in the third round of the Guanabara Cup. The team is looking to maintain its positive streak and strengthen its campaign in the state competition.

As is customary, Flamengo was once again impacted by the Brazilian national team's call-ups . For the under-20 team's friendlies against Paraguay on August 8th and 11th, coach Ramon Menezes had called up four Flamengo players. However, after a request from the board, two of them were withdrawn .
Iago and João Victor, both defenders who came through the club's youth system, were removed from the list following an official request from Flamengo. Goalkeeper Lucas Furtado and midfielder Lorran remain confirmed and are expected to report to the national team this Monday (04), in São Paulo. This information comes from the 'Flazoeiro' channel.
According to the website 'Coluna do Fla', the club's request was motivated by two main factors: the U-20 Club World Cup on August 23, when Flamengo will face Barcelona (ESP). Furthermore, Filipe Luís wants to count on the defenders for the main team's upcoming matches in the Brazilian Championship. Therefore, Iago and João Victor remain training at Ninho do Urubu.
Brazil faces Paraguay again after their meeting at the South American Under-20 Championship earlier this year. Brazil won 3-1 in Caracas, securing early qualification for the Under-20 World Cup.
Since then, Ramon Menezes' team has played three friendlies in June in Egypt: a 4-0 victory over South Korea and draws with Iceland (0-0) and Saudi Arabia (1-1) . These matches are part of the preparation for the U-20 World Cup, where Brazil will seek its first title under the new generation.
