Flamengo Easily Defeated Brasília This Friday (06)

The top favorite for the Women's Volleyball Superliga title is Sesc RJ Flamengo. This Friday (06), the team led by coach Bernardinho easily defeated Brasília, 3 sets to 0. The scores were 25-18, 25-19, and 25-19. The match took place at the Georgiana Pflueger Gymnasium in São Luís, Maranhão.

With the victory, Flamengo now has 16 wins in 17 games in the Women's Superliga. It's worth noting that the first phase consists of 22 matches. In other words, Mengão is close to securing the top spot in the classification stage. With one less game, Minas is second with 14 wins and two losses.

WHY WAS THE GAME IN MARANHÃO?

Aiming to expand the Superliga across all corners of Brazil, the competition's organization took two Flamengo games to the Northeast. The first was this Friday (06) in Maranhão, and the second will be in Recife on March 19 against Sorocaba.

HOW WAS BRASÍLIA VS FLAMENGO?

Although Brasília was the home team in theory, the gymnasium in São Luís was filled only with Flamengo fans. With the support of the Nation, the Most Beloved accelerated in the first set, reaching an impressive 16 to 5 lead. Towards the end, the Red-Black relaxed a bit but managed to close at 25 to 18.

In the second set, the pace was different. With Brasília more focused on the match, the teams exchanged points, even tying at 11 to 11. Thus, coach Bernardinho called a timeout, and the Red-Black regained control of the duel, finishing at 25-19.

In the third and decisive set, the match wasn't as easy as the first, nor as balanced as the second. In other words, it was a middle ground. Inspired, Tainara and Lorena shone in the attack, supported by the best player of the competition, Simone Lee, and Mengão managed to close the match, to the delight of the Nation in Maranhão.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME IN THE SUPERLIGA?

As the isolated leader of the Superliga, Flamengo returns to the court next Thursday (12) during Carnival, against Sancor Vôlei, at the Tijuca Tennis Club Gymnasium. The game starts at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), with streaming on VBTV. However, Coluna do Fla will provide information on the match day.
