Danilo's shock move after Pedro goal, Flamengo v Vitória, Copa do Brasil | OneFootball

What did Danilo do in Flamengo vs Vitória, in the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil?

Danilo started in Flamengo’s 2-1 win over Vitória in the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. As one of the main leaders of the Mengão squad, the number 13 took action right after Pedro’s goal at the Maracanã.

As soon as Pedro found the net and put Flamengo back in front, Danilo celebrated, but quickly shifted his focus back to the match. Right after that, the defender urged the Flamengo team to get back into shape as quickly as possible so the game could restart.

Danilo’s attitude was largely due to his desire to extend the lead even further against Vitória. That’s because the bigger the margin on the scoreboard, the greater Flamengo’s advantage would be for the second leg.
