Arrascaeta close to matching feat only Zico and Adílio achieved at Flamengo | OneFootball

With a stunning goal against Sport, Arrascaeta reached 94 goals for Flamengo

Arrascaeta continues to make history at Flamengo. This Saturday (01), the Uruguayan midfielder scored a stunning free-kick goal in the victory over Sport. With the ball in the net, the number 10 came close to matching a historic record that only Zico and Adílio have achieved at the red-black club.

Only two players in the history of Flamengo have recorded 100 goals and 100 assists for the club: Zico and Adílio. Now, Arrascaeta is six goals away from becoming the third name to reach this milestone.

Moreover, with the goal scored against Sport, the Uruguayan midfielder reached 94 goals for Flamengo. Thus, Arrascaeta tied with Doval as the top foreign scorer in the club's history. With one more goal, he will stand alone in the ranking.

WHO ARE FLAMENGO'S TOP FOREIGN SCORERS?

After the game, the number 10 emphasized the importance of working for the team. “As I always say, I try to give my best for the team, for Flamengo. And this will have meaning when I stop playing, when I start to realize the magnitude of what I have achieved at Flamengo,” said Arrascaeta.

HOW WAS ARRASCAETA'S GOAL?

At 20 minutes into the second half, Bruno Henrique was fouled by Lucas Lima. Immediately after, from the free-kick, Arrascaeta placed the ball into the top corner defended by Gabriel, scoring Flamengo's third goal of the match.

HOW IS FLAMENGO IN THE STANDINGS?

With the victory over Sport, Flamengo temporarily took the top spot in the Brasileirão, with 64 points. This is because Palmeiras will still play this Sunday (02) against Juventude, which could change the leadership.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

With Arrascaeta available, Flamengo's next match will be on Wednesday (05), against São Paulo, at Vila Belmiro, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), for the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship. Globo (open channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will continue to bring all the details of the game, through the website, social media, and YouTube. Fans will be able to follow the preparation, lineup, and behind-the-scenes before and after the match.
