Flamengo are the first team in Brazil to hit 100 goals in 2026 | OneFootball

Milestone was reached in the win over Bragantino this Sunday (20), at the Maracanã

Flamengo is the first club in Brazilian football to reach 100 goals in 2026. The milestone was achieved in the 2-1 win over Red Bull Bragantino on Sunday (20), at the Maracanã. With the victory, the Rubro-Negro also opened a three-point lead at the top of the Brasileirão.

Who scored Flamengo’s 100th goal of the season?

Goal number 100 came off striker Pedro’s boots in the 25th minute of the second half. In this way, the center forward put his name on the landmark figure celebrating Flamengo’s collective scoring record. However, the milestone came in a match in which Leonardo Jardim himself demanded more efficiency from the team. Even so, the number of chances created throughout the season helps explain the team’s impressive goal tally.

Does the 100-goal mark include the three W.O. goals in the Libertadores?

It is worth noting that the milestone does not include the three W.O. goals against Independiente Medellín (COL), awarded by Conmebol in the group stage. If they were counted, Flamengo would already have 103 goals this season. In addition, the friendlies played by the teams during the season are also left out of the count.

So, the total of 100 goals represents only the official matches actually played on the field by Flamengo. In this way, the criterion used in the survey published by Gato Mestre, from GE, follows the standard adopted by the main Brazilian football statistics outlets.

Which teams have scored the most goals in 2026?

As a result, Flamengo sits comfortably ahead of its rivals in the season’s scoring charts. Even so, the gap to Palmeiras, second on the list, is still less than ten goals. In addition, Santos and Vitória are tied for third place in the survey, with 79 goals each.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

Flamengo is now heading into the September FIFA international break and will only return to the field on October 8, against Santos. This means Leonardo Jardim’s team will have time to rest before the Brasileirão resumes. Still, the team’s collective scoring remains one of its strengths this season. So, Rubro-Negro fans hope to repeat those impressive numbers in the second half of the competition as well.
