Flamengo forward receives the Betano award for his performances during August in the Brasileirão

Samuel Lino was named the Brazilian Championship’s Player of the Month for August by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). As a result, the competition’s profile on X, formerly Twitter, highlighted the player’s strong individual form this season.

How did Flamengo celebrate Samuel Lino’s award?

“Call the man! Samuel Lino has been chosen as the best player of August in the Brasileirão,” Flamengo congratulated him in a social media post.

In addition to the Brasileirão award, Betano had already named Lino Flamengo’s Best Player in August as well, which also includes other competitions. So, the player picked up two individual awards at once during the period evaluated.

What were Lino’s numbers in August?

In August, Lino played four Brasileirão matches. During that stretch, the forward scored three goals and created six scoring chances. As a result, his efficiency stands out even more because of the consistency of his performances, month after month.

What is Lino’s record in the 2026 Brasileirão?

This season, Lino has recorded 27 appearances, nine goals, and seven assists in the Brasileirão. However, the advanced stats also stand out: he has created 14 big chances and averages 1.8 key passes per match.

As a result, his completed passes average 27.9 per game, equivalent to 86%. On average, the forward recovers 2.5 balls per game. In addition, he averages 0.6 successful dribbles per match, with a 36% success rate, and 4.1 duels won, equivalent to 49%.

How important is Lino to Flamengo’s attack?

Lino’s good form has also shown up in Flamengo’s most recent decisive matches. In the first leg against Independiente del Valle (ECU) in Quito, the forward was involved in the move that led to the first goal in the 2-0 win. However, his performance goes beyond the numbers: Flamengo’s lead in the Brasileirão, with 57 points, also reflects the team’s collective display.
