Douglas celebrates debut goal, eyes strong run with Flamengo | OneFootball

Flamengo thrashed Sport 5-1 this Saturday at Arena Pernambuco and temporarily took the lead in the Brazilian Championship. Douglas, who scored one of Flamengo’s goals, celebrated his first goal and looked ahead to his future at the club.

“There’s no way to explain what I’m feeling. It’s a feeling of accomplishment, not just of my dream, but of my family’s and my mother’s, who has been with me through every moment. Being able to score on Flamengo’s anniversary is something unforgettable. I’m 18 years old and the number 81 jersey means a lot (the year Flamengo won the Club World Cup), it speaks for itself,” he told Amazon Prime.

With this result, the Rubro Negro jumps to first place with 71 points, three more than Palmeiras. Verdão will still play this Saturday, against Santos at Vila Belmiro at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), and could reclaim the top spot.

Sport, on the other hand, is now mathematically relegated. The team from Pernambuco remains at the bottom of the table with only 17 points.
