Josmar’s screamer that sent Flamengo top of the U20 Carioca | OneFootball

Josmar scored the decisive goal for Flamengo and caught the fans’ attention

Flamengo faced Boavista this Saturday (22) in the Carioca Under-20 Championship. In a tight match, Fla won 1-0 and took sole possession of the top spot in the Taça Guanabara, moving ahead of Fluminense. Despite the narrow scoreline, one player in particular stood out: forward Josmar.

Signed by Flamengo at the beginning of this year, Josmar has been standing out more and more for his versatility in scoring goals. This time, against Boavista, the No. 9 produced a real work of art. After receiving a through ball from Guilherme, Josmar chipped the goalkeeper, then beat the defense with his pace before finishing into the net.

The play went viral among Flamengo fans, who are showing great excitement about seeing the Ninho Kid shine with the senior team as well.

How has Josmar’s spell at Flamengo been going?

Flamengo signed Josmar in March 2026 from Avaí. At the time, the Rubro-Negro paid R$3.5 million for 70% of the forward’s economic rights.

Even though he is only 17 years old, Josmar has not had any trouble playing for Flamengo’s Under-20 side. It is no coincidence that he is the team’s top scorer, with 14 goals in 28 matches. As a result, he has already won over the fans.

Internally, Flamengo believes Josmar has what it takes to join the first team in the coming years. However, the board and coaching staff are preaching patience and multidisciplinary work so as not to rush the gem and end up skipping steps in his development.

Who are the strikers on Flamengo’s senior team?

Currently, Flamengo’s main center forward is Pedro, the team’s top scorer this season. Besides him, coach Leonardo Jardim has also used Bruno Henrique and Wallace Yan as central attacking options for the Rubro-Negro.
