A striker with chest appeal! Pedro grabs 7th chest goal for Flamengo | OneFootball

Pedro scored with his chest in the second half of the derby between Flamengo and Fluminense

Pedro is a striker with many tools. Among the weapons of the Flamengo center forward is his chest. That’s how the number 9 scored against Fluminense with his torso in the 11th round of the Brasileirão, at the Maracanã. It was the eighth time in his career that the striker found the net that way.

Of those eight chest goals, Pedro scored seven wearing the Sacred Mantle. In other words, the ‘9 Bolado’ only found the net with his torso once for Fluminense. On that occasion, the club from Laranjeiras lost 2-1 to Botafogo in the 2018 Brasileirão.

In addition to the chest goal this Sunday (12), the Rubro-Negro top scorer also came back to haunt his former club on another occasion. In the first half, goalkeeper Fábio made a mistake while playing out from the back and made it easy for the striker to score from distance.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Pedro available, Flamengo will play the second round of the Libertadores group stage. So, on Thursday (16), Fla face Independiente Medellín (COL) starting at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at the Maracanã.
