Follow the leader and undefeated! The year 2026 began just as 2025 ended: with a victory for Sesc/Flamengo in the Women's Superliga. This Wednesday (07), the red-and-black team dominated Paulistano/Barueri with a 3-0 win, 25-17, 25-15, and 25-17. The match took place in São Paulo, at the José Corrêa Gymnasium.
With this result, Flamengo maintains a 100% success rate in 12 matches played. They have won 35 sets and lost only seven. Thus, the Rubro-Negro accumulates 33 points in the competition, four points ahead of the second place, Minas.
Flamengo lived up to the favoritism of a match between the leader and the ninth place (out of 12 teams in the Superliga). With a great performance by Simone Lee, one of the candidates for the best player award in the competition, Mengão won 25 to 17.
In the second set, the ease was even greater. With highly effective attacks, combined with effective blocking and unforced errors by Barueri, Mengão closed the set with a ten-point advantage, that is, 25 to 15, leaving the victory well on track.
However, the third set started unexpectedly. By forcing their serves, Barueri surprised Flamengo and managed to lead 5 to 2, being ahead for the first time in the match, forcing coach Bernardinho to call a timeout.
The pause paid off, and Flamengo got back into the game. The duel remained balanced until 13 to 13, but then the Rubro-Negro surged to secure another victory in the Women's Superliga.
The isolated leader of the Women's Superliga returns to the court next Sunday (11), in a classic match against Fluminense. Thus, the ball goes up starting at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Maracanãzinho Gymnasium. In the first round, Flamengo swept with a 3-0 win, in a match held on December 9, with the rival's home court advantage.
