In a celebratory match, Adriano Imperador scored a beautiful goal in Canada


Adriano Imperador and Ronaldinho both wore the Flamengo shirt, but in different eras. However, last Friday (08), the duo shined in a celebratory match in Toronto, Canada. With an assist from the midfielder, Didico scored a beautiful goal in the friendly.

Ronaldinho burst through the middle, cut to the right, and played a through ball into space for Adriano. Then, the Flamengo idol waited for the goalkeeper to come off his line and finished with class, calmly, before running off to celebrate. The hero of the club’s 2009 Brasileirão title ‘shined’ R10’s boot in the celebration as a way of thanking him.

This kind of reunion really makes me miss playing. Didico was and always will be our emperor. My brother Adriano Imperador is something else,” Ronaldinho wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of the celebration with the former striker after the one-two.

WERE THERE MORE FORMER FLAMENGO PLAYERS IN THE FRIENDLY?

Besides Ronaldinho and Adriano, other former Flamengo players took part in the friendly, such as Diego Ribas, Kleberson, Aldair, and André Santos. On social media, Diego said that he also scored a goal, against a team of legends from the United States and Canada.
