Sesc RJ/Flamengo defeated Bauru this Friday (13th), in Rio de Janeiro

After three consecutive defeats this season, Sesc RJ/Flamengo found their way back to victory. This Friday (13th), the girls led by coach Bernardinho beat Bauru by 3 sets to 0 at Maracanãzinho, in the 20th round of the Women's Superliga. The set scores were 25-19, 25-18, and 25-20.

With this result, Flamengo maintains second place in the Women's Superliga, with 49 points, just one behind the leader, Minas. Both teams have 17 wins and three losses. It’s important to note that there are only two matches left before the end of the classification stage.

This Friday’s (13th) victory comes at a crucial moment. That’s because Flamengo was coming off losses to Maringá (Superliga), Osasco (Copa Brasil semifinal), and Minas (Superliga). With this triumph, Mengão is back in the fight to finish first and secure the advantage of always playing the knockout rounds at home.

HOW WAS THE MATCH BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND BAURU?

Bauru came into the match on a roll, with six straight wins this season, including a South American title won on February 22. Even so, Flamengo didn’t let it faze them and completely dominated the game. In the first set, they cruised to a 25-19 win.

In the second set, Flamengo stepped on the gas and practically sealed the set early, jumping to an 8-3 lead. Later, Mengão extended it to 16-9 and just managed the rest. With a beautiful attack from Karina, after a powerful serve from Simone Lee, o Mais Querido closed it out at 25-18.

In the third set, Flamengo suffered a real blackout. As a result, Bauru took advantage and opened up a 10-4 lead, making it tough for the red-and-black team to come back. However, o Mais Querido showed their fighting spirit! The girls battled, managed to tie it at 14-14, turned it around to 21-19, and just managed the score from there.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH IN THE SUPERLIGA?
