Flamengo thrashed on aggregate, out of Carioca U20 semis | OneFootball

Carioca Championship was the only competition still being contested by Flamengo U-20 in the 2025 season

Flamengo bid a bitter farewell to the Carioca Championship U-20. After a 3-0 defeat in the first leg of the semifinal, the Rubro-Negro was once again beaten by Botafogo this Sunday (09), at Gávea, losing 2-1. With this result, the Crias do Ninho say goodbye to the tournament with an aggregate score of 5-1.

In the first leg of the semifinal, Flamengo lost 3-0 away from home and therefore needed to overturn the score to advance to the final. However, it was Botafogo who opened the scoring at Gávea this Sunday (09): Kauan Toledo put the black-and-white team ahead at the 30th minute of the first half.

Soon after, at the 34th minute, Bernardo Valim extended the lead for the General Severiano team. Even so, the Rubro-Negro reacted at the 42nd minute, when defender Iago scored with a header. Despite the pressure in the second half, Flamengo was unable to score again and bid farewell to the Carioca U-20.

ANOTHER ELIMINATION?

The early farewell of Flamengo in the Carioca U-20 was not the team's only recent disappointment this season. Last Thursday (06), the Rubro-Negro also said goodbye to the Copa do Brasil.

After losing to Atlético-MG in the first leg by 2-0, the Rubro-Negro returned the score in the second leg with the same result at Estádio Luso-Brasileiro, on Ilha do Governador, in Rio de Janeiro. In the penalty shootout, the Most Beloved came out on the losing side.

WHAT NOW?

Now, the team led by Bruno Pivetti reaches the end of the road for the 2025 season, since the Carioca U-20 was the only competition they were still contesting. Therefore, the Rubro-Negro will continue training and begin planning for 2026.
