Under-20 finalists | OneFootball

Botafogo remains in pursuit of a third straight Rio U-20 Championship title. This Friday (4), at Anexo Nilton Santos, the #CriasGloriosas beat Real Heips 3-0 and secured a spot in the competition’s final. The goals were scored by Bya, twice, and Leticia.

This was Alvinegro’s fourth win in four matches. Unbeaten in the tournament, Glorioso leads with 12 points, the best campaign, the best attack, and the second-best defense. They have scored 32 goals and conceded only three. In the final round of the group stage, their rival will be Fluminense.

Bya, the team’s top scorer in the competition with seven goals, spoke about qualifying.

"First, I want to thank God and my teammates for what we’ve done so far. We’ll keep working hard to reach the final and win this title. Alex gave us confidence, said we could achieve this goal, and we believed it too," she said.

The team’s coach, Alexander Alves, highlighted the squad’s work in the tournament.

"Very happy that the girls secured this spot in such outstanding fashion. We set a goal and achieved it successfully. Credit to them, to the work, to the day-to-day dedication. Now we keep working; we still have Fluminense in the final round and then the final. We want to arrive even better prepared to achieve what we’re aiming for," he said.

The Crias are still waiting for the final round to determine who their opponent will be and the date of the decider.
