Flamengo thrash Fluminense away, climb Carioca U20 table | OneFootball

In a match valid for the fifth round of the Carioca, Flamengo, world champion, showed no mercy to Fluminense

Winning Fla-Flu is normal, whether in the youth ranks or the professional team! This Saturday (30), the Flamengo under-20 team, still ‘recovering’ from their second world championship, thrashed Fluminense in the fifth round of the Campeonato Carioca Under-20 by 4-0. The match was played away from home, at Estádio Marcelo Vieira, in Xerém, the training center of the Laranjeiras team. Guilherme (three times) and Joshua scored the goals.

With this result, Flamengo jumped to ten points in four games played in the Campeonato Carioca Under-20, occupying second place. It’s important to note that Mengão has one game in hand, since the match against Nova Iguaçu, which was supposed to take place last week, was postponed due to the Garotos do Ninho’s clash with Barcelona (ESP), which secured their second world title.

WHAT WAS FLAMENGO’S LINEUP?

Compared to the team that faced Barcelona, Flamengo had many changes. After all, Lorran and Matheus Gonçalves are abroad, finalizing negotiations with Pisa (ITA) and Al Ahli (SAU), respectively. In addition, the substitutes from the World Cup, Lucas Furtado and Shola, are also no longer part of the squad and will play for Vitória de Guimarães (POR) and Dynamo Kyiv (UKR).

Thus, coach Bruno Pivetti lined up the team as follows: Léo Nannetti, Daniel Sales, Da Mata, João Victor, and Gusttavo; João Alves, Pablo Lúcio, and Guilherme; Joshua, Felipe Teresa, and Pedro Leão. All the goals in the match—Guilherme (three times) and Joshua—were scored in the first half.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO UNDER-20’S NEXT MATCH?

Excited after the world title and the thrashing of Fluminense, Flamengo will have another classic ahead in the under-20s. Next Saturday (06), the Rubro-Negro faces Vasco, at Gávea, for the sixth round of the Taça Guanabara, the first stage of the Campeonato Carioca. The match will take place at 9:30 a.m. (Brasília time).
