return for championships


The second edition of the Friendship Cup had the same format of the first: 8 teams divided into 2 groups. CFZ was in group A, together with Botafogo, Fluminense and Ichikawa, while Flamengo, Vasco, Bangu and Kashima Antlers were in group B. The first placed teams of each group were Flamengo and Fluminense, and Flamengo ended up winning the final match by 1 to 0. Fluminense’s midfielder Carlos Alberto, today the team’s star, played the Friendship Cup. The highlight also goes to Vasco, the third placed team, with Morais in the midfield. The CFZ, coached again by Dudu Coimbra, even had a good start, smashing Ichikawa by 5 to 0, its first goals in the tournament. But lost the two following matches for Fluminense and Botafogo, thus being out of the decisive stage once more.
