Flamengo beat São Paulo in first leg of the Women's Brasileirão U-20 final | OneFootball

Flamengo secured an important advantage in the first leg of the Brasileirão Women’s U-20 final by defeating São Paulo 1-0 this Sunday (24) at Arena Inamar, in Diadema, São Paulo. Isabela Nunes scored Rubro-Negro’s goal. The second leg of the final will be played on Friday (29) at 9 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estádio Luso-Brasileiro in Rio de Janeiro (RJ).

The match was highly contested, with both teams trying to find the back of the net. The first half was marked by few chances and a physical battle. In stoppage time, Flamengo did find the net through Brendha, but a VAR review ruled the play offside.

Rubro-Negro came back with more intensity in the second half. In the 13th minute, Isabela Nunes struck a free kick from the edge of the box and opened the scoring with a memorable goal. The Girls from Gávea kept up their attacking play for the rest of the match, while São Paulo tried to make the most of counterattacks. Despite a few attempts, Soberano was unable to level the score.

While Flamengo now needs only a draw in the second leg to become champions, São Paulo is looking for a one-goal win to take the match to penalties, or a victory by two or more goals to claim the title in regulation time.
