GÁVEA GIRLS DEBUT GIVING A SHOW IN A RACE FOR THE CARIOCA CHAMPIONSHIP

This Sunday morning (24) was a debut with the right foot, strong heat and lots of goals for Meninas da Gávea! Playing in the first round of the Guanabara Cup, Flamengo scored their first three points in the Campeonato Carioca with a 4-1 victory over Pérolas Negras. Gisseli (2), Jucinara and Darlene scored for Mais Querido.

The game

The match started off choppy, with many fouls from the opposing team. The red-black team's first clear chance came with Crivelari, under the line, as the clock approached three minutes, but the ball went over the crossbar. With the match truncated and concentrated in midfield, the teams did not reach the goal with much danger and Mais Querido had difficulty advancing offensively, until the 19th minute, when a sequence of goals began.

After hits and rebounds in the penalty area, Gisseli showed opportunism on the rebound and completed it with a left-hander into the net, to open the score. Two minutes later, Pérolas Negras responded, in a play from the left, with Sarah completing the ball as goalkeeper Bárbara left. But it didn't take long for Flamengo to get back in front of the scoreboard either. At 29, Jucinara caught everyone by surprise with an exquisite free kick from the right. Great goal from the red-black star and 2-1 for Mengão. At 34, it was Darlene's turn to show all her skill in a skillful move and then hit hard, cross, right, hitting goalkeeper Flor's corner. The fourth red-and-black goal came with a left-handed bomb from Gisseli, his second of the match.

Six minutes into the second half, Darlene took a corner and Daiane completed it with a header; the ball passed very close to the opponent's right post, but a foul had already been called by the red-black defender in the move. The second half progressed without many chances to score in the duel, which already had an elastic scoreline drawn in the first 45 minutes. Only at 30 did Pérolas Negras come close to finding the net, with Geisi, who knocked paint off Bárbara's post. At 38 and 41, it was Pimenta's turn to be in danger: first with a cross shot, then with a point-blank finish that exploded into the goalkeeper. At 44, Diovanna took a risk on the right of the small area, then got the rebound, but the ball hit the net from the outside.

Next appointment
