Flamengo won 4-0 in the Under-17 Brazil Cup, in a match at Gávea

Flamengo started off on the right foot in the Under-17 Brazil Cup. This Tuesday (24), the Garotos do Ninho thrashed Penharol, from the Federal District, 4-0, at Gávea. With this result, the Rubro-Negro is qualified for the round of 16 and will face Atlético Mineiro.

The Garotos do Ninho opened the scoring at 21 minutes of the first half, with Rafael Tenório, who headed in a cross from the right. The Rubro-Negro hit the post with the header but managed to score on the rebound. At 44’, Pedro Henrique extended the lead, finishing with no chance for the opposing goalkeeper.

In the added time of the first half, there was still time for the third. Luiz Guilherme dribbled past the goalkeeper and only didn't walk the ball into the net out of humility. Finally, the last goal came in the second half, when Isaac Gomes received a pass from Amilca at 26 minutes and sealed the score.
