São Paulo vs Flamengo takes place in the 17th round of the Brasileirão U-20

Two-time Brasileirão U-20 champion, Flamengo continues its quest for a third title this Saturday (20) against São Paulo. The match kicks off at 3:00 PM (Brasília time) at Estádio Marcelo Portugal (CT de Cotia).

São Paulo vs Flamengo will be broadcast on UOL Play (streaming). As usual, Coluna do Fla will provide the match result and highlights on its website and social media channels.

HOW ARE FLAMENGO LOOKING?

The Rio-based Rubro-Negro side has had an average campaign so far and is looking to climb the table, needing to make its away strength count. So far, the team has 25 points, with seven wins, five losses, and four draws, sitting in ninth place in the competition.

In other words, Rio’s Rubro-Negro is currently outside the qualification zone for the next round. That is because only the top eight teams advance to the quarterfinals after the first stage.

It is worth noting that this Saturday’s match (20) marks the third game under Flamengo’s new head coach, Marcelo Salazar. Officially introduced on June 3, the coach arrived to replace Bruno Pivetti.

HOW DID FLAMENGO FARE IN THEIR LAST BRASILEIRÃO U-20 MATCH?

Flamengo drew 1-1 with Cuiabá last Wednesday (17) in the 16th round of the Brasileirão U-20 at Estádio da Gávea. Although the Rubro-Negro looked to attack from the opening whistle, the Mato Grosso side applied pressure and caused problems for Flamengo’s defense. After hitting the post, Cuiabá capitalized on an attack in the 25th minute and opened the scoring, taking the lead into halftime.

In the second half, Flamengo increased the pressure and controlled the attacking play in search of an equalizer. The Rubro-Negro side alternated dangerous moments with Cuiabá, who relied on counterattacks to try to extend the lead. However, Flamengo’s defense stayed alert and managed to stop the opponent’s quick-transition attempts, keeping the match open until the final minutes.

Finally, the Rubro-Negro’s efforts paid off in the 45th minute, when a Cuiabá center back committed a penalty on Jhefinho. Right after that, Johnny stepped up, struck it high, and secured the equalizer.

WHAT ABOUT SÃO PAULO?

São Paulo, meanwhile, are in a worse situation than Flamengo in the U-20 Brasileirão. In the last round, the São Paulo side lost 1-0 to Juventude at the CFAC mini-stadium.

In 16 matches, the team coached by Júlio Baptista has managed only four wins, six draws, and six losses, occupying 13th place in the table. At the moment, the São Paulo side is battling to stay clear of the relegation zone.
