What is the achievement that only Zico and Gabigol have with the Flamengo jersey?

Flamengo has played in four Libertadores finals in its history. However, only Gabigol and Zico have scored goals wearing the Sacred Mantle in the finals. In other words, if any player scores an own goal this Saturday (29) against Palmeiras, they will match the red-black idols.

Who scored the goal in the 1981 Libertadores final?

In the 2019 season, it was Gabigol's turn. The forward scored twice in the final minutes of the game against River Plate (ARG) and secured the second championship for Flamengo in Lima, Peru.

The same situation occurred in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 2021. Gabigol scored for Flamengo against Palmeiras, but the Red-Black couldn't secure the victory and lost the title 2-1, with a mistake by Andreas Pereira.
