Midfielder Guilherme scored a beautiful goal this Wednesday (14), but couldn’t prevent Flamengo’s defeat to Bangu. Thus, the Most Beloved remains winless in the state tournament after the match at Estádio Moça Bonita in the 1st round.
— This is a defeat we weren’t expecting. As I said, we conceded two goals there that I think shook the team a bit, but we came back in the second half to try for the win, we did everything we could. Unfortunately, we leave here with a negative result, but now it’s time to work and focus on the next one — highlighted Guilherme after the match.
The home team started at full throttle. Thus, Patrick opened the scoring just four minutes in and Garrinsha extended the lead at 12’. The Rubro-Negro hinted at a comeback with the playmaker’s stunning chip goal, but neither team scored again.
Due to the Supercopa Rei, the 5th round of the state championship had to be brought forward. So, Flamengo and Portuguesa drew 1-1 last Saturday (11). That result, combined with Wednesday’s, means Mengão is still without a win in the competition.
As in the first two matches, it’s likely that the Rubro-Negro will keep the under-20 squad against Volta Redonda on Saturday (17) for the 2nd round of the Cariocão. The match will take place from 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estádio Raulino de Oliveira.
