What was the score of the Flamengo vs Fluminense match in the Recopa Carioca U-15?

The youngsters from Ninho have plenty of reasons to celebrate. That's because, this Saturday (07), Flamengo beat Fluminense 2-0 and, with that, won the Recopa Carioca U-15 title.

The classic between Flamengo and Fluminense took place under the strong morning sun this Saturday (07), at Estádio da Gávea. The goals for Mengão were scored by Davi Borges in the first half, and by Samuel Barbosa, towards the end of the match.

It's important to highlight that, in addition to the goal scorers, goalkeeper Alessandro also played a fundamental role in Rubro-Negro's victory. That's because, while the game was still 1-0, the Mengão goalkeeper made a save that prevented Fluminense from equalizing the score.

“It was a really great feeling to win this title and help the team with the penalty save. I’m very happy with the match”, said Alessandro in an interview after winning the title to the official Flamengo website.

Besides Alessandro, other members of Flamengo spoke after the confirmation of the rubro-negro title. One of them was Alfredo Almeida, who is the club’s youth academy manager. In his speech, the Portuguese made it clear how important the victory is for the development of the athletes.

“We must never forget that victory and the title are a consequence for the youth academy. We don’t just seek to win, we seek ‘how we win’. And the same applies when we don’t win. It’s not simply about not winning the title, it’s about understanding why we didn’t win. I believe the consequence is greater than the result,” said Alfredo.
