Arrascaeta reaches 114 assists for Flamengo, eyes Junior's mark | OneFootball

Against Remo, Arrascaeta set Samuel Lino up one-on-one with the goalkeeper

Arrascaeta keeps making history in a Flamengo shirt. Last Sunday (06), the Uruguayan reached 114 assists for the club by playing a direct role in the goal that secured a 1-0 win over Remo in the 26th round of the 2026 Brasileirão.

On that occasion, Arrascaeta found Samuel Lino, who made the most of the No. 10’s pass and scored the game’s only goal with the tip of his boot, in classic Romário style. As a result, the Uruguayan reached yet another impressive milestone in Flamengo’s history.

In addition, Arrascaeta has already surpassed Adilio, who recorded 102 assists for the club. Now, the Uruguayan is looking to move even closer to Junior, who sits second in the ranking with 152 assists. At the top of the list is Zico, Flamengo’s all-time leading provider, with 174 assists. Therefore, ‘Arrasca’ still needs 38 assists to match Maestro’s mark and another 60 to equal Galinho’s record.

ARRASCAETA ALSO CLOSES IN ON ANOTHER RECORD

Besides his assists, Arrascaeta also holds a prominent place among Flamengo’s all-time top scorers. The Uruguayan has 106 goals for the club and sits 19th in the ranking, level with Esquerdinha.

On the other hand, the midfielder is already starting to eye the names just ahead of him. Joel scored 114 goals, while Bruno Henrique has 119. That means Arrascaeta needs eight goals to catch Joel and 13 to match the No. 27’s tally.

Little by little, then, the Uruguayan is expanding his place among the great names in Flamengo’s history. With 114 assists and 106 goals, Arrascaeta continues to pile up impressive numbers and move ever closer to the club’s historic marks.

AUTHOR’S OPINION

— Arrascaeta proved many Flamengo fans wrong last Sunday (06). With a quiet performance in the ‘storm’ that hit Belém, many rubro-negros were already calling for the No. 10 to be substituted. But in the 19th minute of the second half, the Uruguayan showed up —, opined Pedro Paulo Catonho, a journalist for Coluna do Fla.

— Let’s see whether he starts Thursday’s match against Independiente del Valle. It’s a game with unique characteristics, such as the altitude, which does not suit him all that well. I won’t be surprised if the No. 10 starts on the bench. However, I’ll say in advance that I’m against it. A star player cannot be left out of a Copa Libertadores quarterfinal —, he added.
