Great start for Flamengo in the Women's Brazilian Championship! After debuting with a victory over Mixto-MT, the girls from Gávea defeated Red Bull Bragantino on Friday night (20), in the second round, by 4 to 2. The match took place at the Luso-Brazilian Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
Among the teams that have already played two games, only Flamengo, Palmeiras, and Corinthians remain with a 100% success rate in the Women's Brasileirão. It's worth noting that the two teams from São Paulo are considered the main favorites for the title of the competition.
With the support of the fans, Flamengo didn't take long to open the scoring. After a scramble in the area, goalkeeper Letícia punched the ball incorrectly, and defender Nubia took the zero off the scoreboard, two minutes into the first half. The second goal came at 21’.
After a shot from the red-black team, Letícia awkwardly deflected the ball forward, and Jucinara, with finesse, lightly tapped it over to extend the lead. However, when it seemed that Flamengo was heading for a rout, Camila Ambrozio scored for Bragantino at 25 minutes.
At 44’ of the first half, Flamengo scored the third. Monalisa received a short corner pass and played it into the area. Thus, Layza rose high and sent it to the back of the net, putting the Red-Black in a great position on the scoreboard.
With a comfortable lead, Flamengo slowed down in the second half but still managed to score. At 15 minutes, Cristiane received a cross from the left and didn't forgive: Mengão 4 to 1 and it was a show! In injury time, Bragantino scored again with Rafa Mineira.
The next round of the Women's Brasileirão takes place only on March 13, with the classic against Botafogo. Before that, however, the Red-Black will have commitments in the Rio Cup. On March 1, 5, and 8, Mengão faces Heips, Botafogo, and Fluminense, respectively.
