The Uruguayan, with a Pet-like goal at Sport, equals Doval (idol of the 70s), becoming the number 1 foreign scorer in the history of Fla
In Flamengo’s 3-0 victory over Sport, this Saturday, 1/11, at the Maracanã, for the Brazilian championship, Arrascaeta started on the bench. But it arrived nine minutes after the start of the final stage. He made good plays and marked his performance with the spectacular goal scored in the 21st minute. A free kick that was reminiscent of Pet’s famous goal in the final against Vasco, Carioca’s third title in 2001. And the way goalkeeper Gabriel flew, in the style of Helton twenty years ago, was even more similar. Finally a goal for history.
To top it off, it was Pet’s 94th goal with a Flamengo shirt. The Uruguayan equals the Argentine Doval, Fla’s idol in the first half of the 70s, as the greatest foreign scorer in Flamengo’s history. Becoming Top 1 is only a matter of time for number 10.
“I always try to give my best for the group. As for the brands, when I stop playing I will understand the size of what I have built here at Flamengo. But in the meantime I have to dedicate myself to helping my teammates.”
Regarding his presence in the second half and at the beginning on the bench, he commented:
“I spoke with coach Filipe Luís who, being well, wanted to play. But he thought it would be better for me to start from the bench. We have a team that needs minutes and that’s what I do for the group.”
