Arrascaeta screamer drives Vidal wild, ex-Flamengo sends Instagram message | OneFootball

Arrascaeta scored Flamengo’s first goal against Cruzeiro at the Maracanã

Arrascaeta’s stunning goal against Cruzeiro in Flamengo’s qualification for the Libertadores quarterfinals even startled Arturo Vidal. The former Flamengo player posted a video to praise the No. 10 for the play at the Maracanã last Wednesday (19).

Watch the video:

“The kid buried it! What a screamer, man!” reacted the 2022 Libertadores champion with Flamengo. The midfielder, who currently plays for Colo-Colo (Chile), tagged Arrascaeta in the post made on Instagram.

How did Arrascaeta score Flamengo’s goal?

The Uruguayan received the ball in midfield, turned, and found Pedro. Then the No. 9 returned it first time to the playmaker, who placed the ball into the side netting behind Otávio, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance.

Did Arrascaeta and Vidal play together at Flamengo?

Wearing the Sacred Jersey, Vidal disappointed despite winning the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores titles. The midfielder played 51 matches, scored two goals, and provided three assists between 2022 and 2023. With little room in the squad, he moved to Athletico-PR.

At Furacão, ‘Arturito’ also failed to impress. Then he secured the long-desired transfer to Colo-Colo, the team he had asked for so much. The player even recorded a video at Flamengo asking to go to Chile, the country where he still plays today.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Arrascaeta available, Flamengo will face Cruzeiro again in the 24th round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 8:30 p.m. Brasília time this Saturday (22) at Mineirão.

Coluna do Fla TV will show the details of the match with on-site coverage from Rodrigo Lima and Rock Hudson on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Amazon Prime (streaming) will broadcast the Brasileirão clash.
