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 p.m. (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.

HOW DOES FLAMENGO COME INTO THE MATCH?

The Rio-based red-and-black side has had a middling campaign so far and is looking to climb the table, needing to make its away strength count. So far, it 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 stage. That is because only the top eight teams advance to the quarterfinals after the first phase.

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

HOW DID FLAMENGO’S LAST BRASILEIRÃO U-20 MATCH GO?

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 made the most of an attacking move in the 25th minute to open the scoring and went into halftime ahead.

In the second half, Flamengo stepped up the pressure and controlled the attacking play in search of an equalizer. The red-and-black side alternated dangerous moments with Cuiabá, who relied on counterattacks 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 effort from the Rubro-Negro paid off in the 45th minute, when a Cuiabá defender committed a penalty on Jhefinho. Right after that, Johnny took responsibility for the spot kick, struck it high, and secured the equalizer.

WHAT ABOUT SÃO PAULO?

São Paulo, in turn, is 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 only four wins, six draws, and six losses, placing 13th in the table. At the moment, the São Paulo side is fighting to stay away from the relegation zone.
