Flamengo’s win over Vitória on Wednesday (22) featured a goal from Pedro, his 13th of the season. As a result, in 23 matches, the top scorer managed to double his goal contributions compared to last year.
That’s because Pedro averaged one direct goal contribution every 1.7 matches in 2025. This season, however, the center forward has raised that figure to 0.85 per game. In other words, while last year the number 9 needed 153 minutes to score or provide an assist, that time has dropped to 76 minutes in 2026.
Besides ‘9 Bolado,’ defensive midfielder Evertton Araújo also found the net against Vitória, who pulled one back through Erick. Therefore, Pedro’s goal helped give Mengão a narrow advantage in the fifth-round tie of the Copa do Brasil, with the return leg taking place on May 14.
With Pedro available, Flamengo will face Atlético-MG this Sunday (26) in the 13th round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 8:30 p.m. Brasília time at Arena MRV in Minas Gerais.
So, Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage of the clash on its website, YouTube, and social media. The match broadcast, however, will be on SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view).
