The ball went into the bottom left corner of the net: 1-0. Criciúma showed they weren't finished and reacted immediately, leveling the score. After a cross from the right, the ball fell to Thalita who finished into the net: 1-1.

The home team responded immediately and almost extended their lead. Leane received the ball at speed on the left, entered the penalty area and shot across goal, forcing a good save from the Criciúma goalkeeper. 

At 20 minutes, Brendha received the ball at the edge of the area, adjusted it to her left foot and unleashed a powerful shot towards the middle of the goal, forcing a good save from Malu. Shortly after, Flamengo extended their lead with a fantastic goal. Cerqueira, who came on in the second half, scored a beautiful long-range shot that went in: 3-1.
