Pedro scored one of the two goals for Flamengo against Estudiantes (ARG)

The forward Pedro highlighted the 2-1 victory of Flamengo, this Thursday (19), against Estudiantes de La Plata (ARG). Despite the refereeing mistakes, the author of one of the goals of the Rubro-Negro stated that there is no reason to complain.

— Yes, now we are going to play the game away from home. We played a great game, there is nothing to complain about, there is no reason to hang our heads. On the contrary, it was an important victory. Now it's time to go there and also seek victory and achieve this qualification, which is what we want, and continue to play the game we have been playing, with intensity, seeking the goal, trying to play well. And, as I said, focus on the Brasileiro and then rest —, said Pedro on the sidelines.

Nothing to complain about?

Despite Pedro's optimism, Flamengo has a lot to complain about. This is because a penalty on Samuel Lino in the first half was not called and Gonzalo Plata was sent off after being kicked by the opponent.

With one more on the field, the Argentines took advantage to reduce Flamengo's advantage. The Rubro-Negro, in fact, will not have Plata in the return match, which takes place on Thursday (25).

How did Pedro score the goal?

The referee had barely blown the whistle, and Flamengo was already on the attack. Then, Plata ran towards the end line and passed to Pedro, who beautifully turned on the defender and shot past Muslera.
