Fluminense, coached by Felipe Canavan, took the field with Mateus Peixoto; Danylo Amaral, Fábio José, Thiago and Gabriel Justen; Luan Riquelme, Ronald and Carlos Miguel; Jean Carlos, Riquelmy and Danilo Melo.

Although the Rio-based team had more control of possession, Corinthians were more dangerous in the first half. The best chances were created by the home side, who managed to open the scoring through Rhyan Ladeira. The forward received a pass from Kayque Dallaqua and finished to put Timãozinho ahead. Fluminense found it difficult to turn possession into clear chances and rarely troubled the Corinthians defense before halftime. At the other end, Léo Amistá also had a good opportunity to extend the lead.

After the break, the visitors adopted a more aggressive approach and began to press Corinthians in search of an equalizer. Their persistence paid off, and Riquelmy made it all square at Fazendinha.

Timãozinho still found some spaces to go back in front, but lost an important player during the second half. Goalkeeper Gustavo Milani felt pain and had to be replaced by Rafael Alencar. In the decisive minutes, Rafael Alencar did well when called upon and made important saves to prevent a Fluminense comeback. As a result, the score remained 1-1 until the final whistle.

With the draw, Corinthians reached 23 points and remain in third place in the Brazilian Under-17 Championship. Guilherme Nascimento’s team return to action this Saturday at 11 a.m. against São José. The match will be played in the second round of the second phase of the Paulista Under-17 Championship.
