Flamengo sweep aside rivals and keep strong run going in the Superliga | OneFootball

Flamengo, led by Bernardinho, defeated Tijuca in a classic Rio derby

The unstoppable Sesc Flamengo continues in the Women's Volleyball Superliga. This Friday (30), the team led by coach Bernardinho defeated Tijuca Tênis Clube 3-0 at the rival's home, with set scores of 25-18, 25-21, and 27-25. Thus, the Most Beloved remains comfortably at the top of the standings.

With this Friday's (30) result, Flamengo now has 15 wins and only one loss in the Women's Superliga. On the other hand, Tijuca remains in the relegation zone, in the penultimate position, with three wins and 12 losses, experiencing a tough time in the competition.

HOW WAS THE GAME?

Despite the significant difference between the teams in the standings, the game was tighter than expected. In the first set, Flamengo had it easy, closing at 25-18. However, the reality was different in the following sets. In the second, the teams exchanged points constantly.

The balance remained until a 20-20 tie. However, Karina and Victória served very well, complicating Tijuca's reception and allowing Flamengo to work the points calmly or pressure the opponent's possession. Then, Mengão came out on top: 25-21

In the third set, Tijuca managed to open an impressive 4-0 lead, but then Flamengo balanced the match and even took the lead. However, the home team turned it around again, making it 23-22 in the final stretch of the period. Nonetheless, a familiar scenario: when the game gets tight, Mengão calls on Simone Lee. The Superliga star once again resolved the situation, securing the victory.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME IN THE SUPERLIGA?

After another victory, Flamengo now sets its sights on Brasília Vôlei. The match will take place next Friday (06), starting at 7 PM (Brasília time), at the Sesi Taguatinga Gymnasium. Coluna do Fla, of course, will provide the match details, as usual.
