In the official debut in the Brazilian Under-20 Championship, after the postponement of the game against Cuiabá in the first round, Flamengo faced Athletico-PR this Friday (21), at CT do Caju, in Curitiba. The Rio de Janeiro team took the lead with a goal from Guilherme, but suffered a comeback in the final minutes and was defeated 2-1.

The match was marked by difficulties for the Garotos do Ninho, who had important absences and needed to adapt to the synthetic turf. The first dangerous chance came in the 13th minute, when Wallace Yan shot and the opposing goalkeeper saved. On the rebound, Guilherme tried, but shot over. In the 22nd minute, Daniel Sales tried a beautiful shot that went close. Two minutes later, Wallace Yan received the ball on the right and forced the goalkeeper to make a good save.

The Mais Querido 's goal came in the first half. At 41, Lorran found Shola, who crossed low. Wallace Yan almost completed the goal, but, minutes later, the offensive play paid off. Shola received the pass, got past the marker and rolled it to Guilherme, who pushed it into the goal, opening the score.

LACK OF EFFECTIVENESS IN THE FINAL STAGE COSTS THE NEST BOYS THEIR VICTORY

In the second half, the Rio de Janeiro team maintained the pace, but began to feel the physical wear and tear. In the 12th minute, Shola received a cross, but was unable to finish accurately. In the 26th minute, Joshua, who had just come on to replace Lorran, exchanged passes with Wallace Yan and shot, but the goalkeeper stopped him.

At 43, Mengão's best opportunity to extend their lead came when Shola ran down the left and passed to Wallace Yan, who shot from close range, but saw the opposing goalkeeper make a spectacular save. When it seemed that a positive result would be guaranteed , Athletico-PR managed to equalize at 48 minutes and, in injury time, turned the game around at 52, decreeing Flamengo's defeat.

NEXT CHALLENGE WILL BE THE CLASSIC AGAINST VASCO AWAY FROM HOME IN THE SECOND ROUND

After the setback in their debut, the Garotos do Ninh will return to the field next Friday (28), when they face Vasco, in a classic valid for the second round of the Brazilian Under-20 Championship. The game will be played away from home and promises to be another great test for the red-black team.
