Flamengo star’s brother goes viral after Paulista shock moment | OneFootball

Just like Andrew, Andrey is a Botafogo revelation who sought opportunities outside Rio de Janeiro

Goalkeeper Andrew, from Flamengo, is not the only one in the Ventura family with talent for guarding the net. That’s because his brother Andrey went viral on social media with a sequence of extraordinary saves in the Série A2 of the Campeonato Paulista, on Sunday (08).

Linense was awarded a penalty, but Andrey was in goal to save Osasco Sporting. Thus, the goalkeeper made a series of three interventions, including the penalty. The play prevented a 3-2 defeat and kept the score at 2-2.

Did the Flamengo goalkeeper's brother say anything?

— It was truly a very special moment. Saving a penalty is already the hardest task for a goalkeeper, but after the initial save, to make two more is something you don’t see every day. And most importantly, the play ended up earning us a point at the end of the match — Andrey highlighted at the sideline.

Are the brothers' careers similar?

The Ventura brothers started at Botafogo, but didn’t get opportunities. So, while Andrew transferred to Gil Vicente (POR), Andrey played for Cabofriense, Sampaio Corrêa, CRB, Volta Redonda, and Guarani.

During his introduction at Flamengo, Andrew revealed that the family supports Flamengo. The player’s mother even worked at Gávea. However, the goalkeeper’s parents have already passed away.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

While Andrey puts on a show in the Campeonato Paulista, Andrew’s team will play the Carioca this Sunday (15). Thus, Fla and Botafogo will face off starting at 5:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Engenhão, for a spot in the semifinals.
