Flamengo completely dominated the game against Barueri this Monday (20)

Flamengo started their journey towards the Women's Superliga title on the right foot. This Monday (20), the team coached by Bernardinho defeated Paulistano Barueri 3 sets to 0 at the Tijuca Tênis Clube. The set scores were 25-12, 25-19, and 26-24.

WHAT RECORD WAS BROKEN IN FLAMENGO'S SUPERLIGA GAME?

In the second set, the teams played out the longest rally in the history of world volleyball. The ball stayed off the ground for one minute and 37 seconds, according to the broadcast on the subscription channel SporTV. The previous record was set in 2012, in a match held in China, with 1:36.

HOW WAS THE GAME?

Riding the momentum from their Campeonato Carioca title win over Fluminense last Monday (13), Flamengo simply didn’t let Paulistano Barueri touch the ball in the first set. As a result, Mengão finished with a ‘blowout’, 25 to 12.

However, the game changed in the second set. Paulistano Barueri fixed what had gone wrong at the start and made things harder for Flamengo. Still, it wasn’t enough to trouble the red-and-black team. Thus, Bernardinho’s girls closed it out at 25 to 19.

In the third and final set, it was balanced from start to finish. The visitors even took a 7 to 4 lead, but then Flamengo responded, tying it up at 14 to 14. The match remained electrifying, with a tie at 20 to 20. In the final stretch, Mengão took advantage of Simone Lee’s inspired night, as she performed excellently and secured the victory for the Most Beloved.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME IN THE WOMEN'S SUPERLIGA?

The next game for Flamengo is a classic: against Dentil Praia Clube, a team that has reached four of the last five finals. The match will take place on October 31, once again in Rio de Janeiro, starting at 9 p.m. (Brasília time).
