HOW WAS THE FINAL OF THE WOMEN'S CAMPEONATO CARIOCA?

Last week, with Fluminense as the home team, the classic ended in a 0-0 draw at Moça Bonita. In other words, all the excitement was saved for the clash at Luso-Brasileiro. Early in the match, the Rubro-Negro missed a clear goal with Jucinara, who shot wide after receiving the ball unmarked in the box.

Before halftime, Flamengo got lucky. Goalkeeper Vivi tried to nutmeg an opponent inside the box and almost lost the ball. However, Fluminense couldn't capitalize on the mistake. Thus, the teams went to the locker rooms with the score still level.

In the second half, the Flamengo, favorites for the title, lived up to their status at eight minutes. After a beautiful play by Duda Rodrigues down the right, captain Djeni took advantage of a low cross and sent it into the back of the net to open the scoring for the Rubro-Negro.

After the goal, the match heated up. In summary, at ten minutes, Cristiane almost scored for Flamengo after a beautiful shot that went over the bar. At the 13-minute mark, Fluminense responded by hitting the crossbar with a shot from Raquel. In the next attack, Flamengo's Gláucia missed a good chance with a shot from inside the box.

At 25 minutes, Flamengo had the chance to seal the game with a real blitz. Cristiane, Thaísa, and Gláucia all took dangerous shots, with two saved by the opposing goalkeeper and one going wide.

At 33 minutes, Flamengo put the game to bed. Fernanda crossed the ball from the right, and Keké scored an own goal after miscontrolling the ball inside the box. Therefore, it was celebration time for Flamengo and the title was secured for the biggest champions in Rio de Janeiro!
