Decisive Iago celebrates goal for Flamengo in Volta Redonda | OneFootball

Flamengo made their debut in the Campeonato Carioca this Sunday with a 1-1 draw against Portuguesa in Volta Redonda. Responsible for the goal that prevented the rubro-negro team from losing, defender Iago celebrated the achievement in his hometown.

“We played a good game. We couldn’t come away with the three points. Scoring a goal in my city, where I was born and raised, was very important,” he said.

“For any kid, playing a professional match is important. It’s even more important for me, since I’ve already passed the age limit. I believe I did well,” Iago added.

Flamengo returns to the field for the second round of the Campeonato Carioca this Wednesday, against Bangu, at Moça Bonita.
