Vasco x Flamengo: where to watch live and times - 2nd final of the Carioca Under-20 Championship

On an afternoon of total superiority, Flamengo under-20 beat Sampaio Corrêa 4-0 this Saturday (27), in a game valid for the ninth round of the Taça Guanabara, held at CT da Saferj, in Guaratiba (RJ). Without the players who will go to the Under-20 World Cup , the great highlight was striker Douglas, author of two goals. Germano and Guilherme also scored for Rubro-Negro.

THE GAME

The team was on the attack from the opening minutes and quickly opened up a lead . In the 16th minute, Douglas capitalized on a precise pass from Daniel Sales to open the scoring. Shortly thereafter, in the 32nd minute, Germano doubled the lead, again after an assist from Daniel. Still in the first half, in the 37th minute, Guilherme scored with a perfect free kick, turning the victory into a partial rout.

In the second half, Flamengo maintained the pace and after just 5 minutes, they set the score. Douglas received the ball from Pablo and scored his second goal, making it 4-0 . With the result, Rubro-Negro is preparing to face Madureira, next Saturday (4), at 10 am, at Aniceto Moscoso Stadium, for the continuation of the Guanabara Cup.

RESULTS IN OTHER CATEGORIES

Saturday was also busy for other Flamengo youth teams. In the Copa Rio U-15, Flamengo drew 1-1 with Fluminense in Xerém . Marcos Pierre scored the red-and-black goal early in the second half.

In the U-16, in the Guilherme Embry Tournament, Flamengo beat Sampaio Corrêa 2-0 , in Saquarema. Anthony and Wallace secured the victory in the second stage. Mengão's U-20 returns to the field on Saturday (4), when the Garotos do Ninho face Madureira, still in the Cariocão of the category.

Flamengo confirmed, this Monday, the termination of the contract of striker Felipe Teresa , 19 years old, who had a contract with the club until July 2026. The player was known for having been the author of the goal that guaranteed Rubro-Negro the title of the U-20 World Cup in 2024 , when the team was commanded by Filipe Luís.

According to information initially released by the Flazoeiro profile, the decision to terminate the contract came from Flamengo itself, motivated by dissatisfaction with the athlete's behavior in training and matches. The incident occurs amid a restructuring of the club's youth squad, which has seen several players leave in recent months.

LOSS OF SPACE

In 2024, Felipe Teresa played 25 games and scored five goals for the U-20 team. He even came on in the second half of the red-and-black team's penalty shootout victory over Barcelona at the Maracanã , but in the final matches he was only on the bench. Despite being more experienced, the striker lost out to younger players.

PASSAGE THROUGH THE PROFESSIONAL

Last year, Teresa received an opportunity in the professional team during the Brazilian Championship , in the match against Grêmio , when she came on at the end of the game and scored a goal.

He subsequently played only for the alternate team in the Campeonato Carioca and was never called up to the main squad again. The striker joined Flamengo in 2022, at the age of 15 , after excelling in the Campeonato Paulista with Inter de Limeira.

Flamengo confirmed the strength of the home factor and defeated Boavista 1-0, this Saturday (20), in the eighth round of the Campeonato Carioca Sub-20. The winning goal came only in the 35th minute of the second half, in a beautiful shot by Ryan Roberto , who came off the bench to decide.

SITUATION IN THE TABLE

With the result, Rubro-Negro reached 16 points, taking third place in the table, with a record of five wins, one draw, and two losses . The competition leader is Vasco, with 21 points so far.

HOW WAS THE GAME?

Flamengo dominated possession and controlled the game from the start, but struggled to create clear-cut chances. Ryan Roberto's introduction early in the second half changed the landscape . The forward became the team's main offensive weapon and, from outside the box, hit a beautiful shot to secure the victory.

SHORTCOMINGS IN THE SEQUENCE

Coach Bruno Pivetti will have important absences in the next games. Defenders João Victor and Iago were called up by Ramon Menezes for the U-20 World Cup , which takes place in Chile, between September 27 and October 19. Both will be presented next Monday (22), at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis.

NEXT APPOINTMENT

The Garotos do Ninho return to the field next Saturday (27) , when they face Sampaio Corrêa, at 3 pm (Brasília time), for the ninth round of the Carioca Sub-20. The match will be broadcast live on Flamengo TV on YouTube.
