Even Playing Away, Flamengo Delivered a Perfect Performance

In the clash of the undefeated, Sesc Flamengo came out on top. This Monday (24), the Most Beloved went to Ginásio José Liberatti and defeated Osasco, away from home, in the Women's Superliga. The Rubro-Negro won by 3 sets to 0, with scores of 25-23, 25-16, and 25-17. With this result, Mengão remains at 100% after seven games and managed to break the opponent's unbeaten streak.

The match is considered the biggest classic in women's volleyball. After all, Sesc (before the partnership with Flamengo) is the biggest winner of the Superliga, with 12 titles. Osasco, the current champion, is second on the list, with six trophies. Therefore, the showdown promised a lot even before the first serve.

HOW WAS THE GAME?

The first set lived up to expectations. In other words, a lot of back-and-forth points and balance. With Helena and Tainara inspired, the Rubro-Negro closed with a tight score, 25 to 23. In the second set, it seemed the match would continue to be close.

The teams were tied up to 5-5, when Mengão pulled ahead. With Kirov shining, Flamengo scored seven straight points (12 to 5). With a comfortable lead, Bernardinho's team just managed the game and closed at an incredible 25 to 16, unexpected given the high level of both teams this season.

If the second set was surprising, the third started even more impressively. Flamengo started off strong and quickly opened up a 9 to 1 lead. With the 'game in their pocket', the Rubro-Negras had no trouble closing it out 3 sets to 0 and handing Osasco their first defeat.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME IN THE SUPERLIGA?
