Flamengo reached the semi-finals of the 2026 state under-20 championship after drawing 1–1 with Sampaio Corrêa at CT George Helal on October 30. Their 3–0 first-leg win gave them a 4–1 aggregate victory.

The equaliser came late in the second half. Lucas Noronha put Sampaio Corrêa ahead 23 minutes after the break, before Diego Queiroz finished a loose ball in the area in the 41st minute of the half. The three-goal first-leg advantage was enough to carry Flamengo through.

The club’s report described a younger starting side, with eight players born in 2008. Preserving the advantage and securing qualification was the immediate outcome for that group.

Vasco are next in the state competition. The October 30 announcement did not yet confirm the date, time or venue. A separate fixture was scheduled against Operário-PR at the Luso-Brasileiro on November 3 at 4:30pm, in the second leg of the Brazilian Under-20 Cup quarter-finals. The two competitions should not be confused.
