Decisive figure powers Fla to statement display at Mirassol | OneFootball

Pedro seized control in the 56th minute, finishing from close range as Flamengo beat Mirassol 5-1. He now leads the Brasileirão scoring with 14 goals.

He timed his run perfectly to meet Ayrton Lucas's pass, arriving between defenders to thump home from inside the six-yard box (56.).

He then struck again on the break, guiding a low finish after Jorge Andrés Carrascal Guado's surge (66.). That double settled the contest as Fla kept control.

He finished with four attempts, three on target, and eight touches in the box, underlining how his movement kept centre-backs pinned. Mengão repeatedly located him early to attack the danger area.

With the visitors' wide players driving at full-backs, he could arrive late between centre-backs to meet cut-backs, forcing Mirassol to defend facing their own goal.
