From 4 defeats on the bounce to an unbeaten run: Flamengo's U17 revival | OneFootball

Ninho Boys reach 13 games unbeaten in the competition and climb to at least seventh place

The youngsters remain unbeaten. That’s because Flamengo beat Grêmio 3-1 this Tuesday (15) at Gávea, in the 17th round of the Brasileirão U-17. Daniel Thuram and João Vitor Couto, the latter twice, scored the goals for the Ninho Boys.

With the result, the Rubro-Negro reached 30 points in the competition. The team has now extended its unbeaten run in the Brazilian Championship to 13 matches. This win also guarantees at least one more place in the standings. Therefore, Fla will end the round at least in seventh place.

How did João Vitor Couto perform against Grêmio?

Against Grêmio, João Vitor Couto was once again one of the team’s standout players. As a result, the forward continues his run of strong performances. After scoring three times against Athletico-PR at the start of the month, the player found the net twice more this Tuesday (15). In this way, the youngster remains in a confident and impressive run on the pitch.

The win also represents an immediate response. That’s because, in the previous round, Flamengo had drawn 1-1 with Bahia after conceding the equalizer in stoppage time.

However, the positive result against Grêmio already erases the bitter taste of that slip-up. With that, the team returns to collecting all three points right at the end of the first phase of the competition.

How did Flamengo build its unbeaten run in the Brasileirão U-17?

The unbeaten streak began after a start to the competition with four straight defeats. Since then, the Ninho Boys have recorded eight wins and five draws. Therefore, the comeback has been crucial for their climb up the table and for securing a place in the G8 at the end of the first phase.

With 30 points after 17 rounds, Flamengo enters the decisive stage in a strong position in the race for the knockout rounds. Only two matches remain before the end of this stage of the Brasileirão U-17.

What are Flamengo’s numbers this season?

This season, Rubro-Negro has played 36 matches, with 19 wins, 10 draws, and seven defeats. The team has scored 79 goals and conceded 38. Thus, the overall record reinforces the good form the U-17 side is currently enjoying.

Mengão’s last defeat came on July 6, in the Campeonato Carioca U-17, against Fluminense, by 2-0. Since then, 12 matches have passed without the team losing again.

What is Flamengo U-17’s next match?

The next fixture is scheduled for Tuesday (22), away from home, against Red Bull Bragantino, in the 18th round of the Brasileirão U-17. Thus, the Ninho do Urubu youngsters will look to extend their unbeaten run even further before the decisive stretch of the competition.
