Guerrero, Arrascaeta and Plata: Flamengo goals at last 3 World Cups

How were the goals by Guerrero, Arrascaeta and Plata in World Cups?

Flamengo had representatives in the last three World Cups and, in all of them, at least one red-and-black player found the net. With that in mind, Coluna do Fla looks back at the players who achieved that feat in the national team tournament.

At the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Flamengo was represented by Paolo Guerrero. Playing for Peru, the former red-and-black striker scored against Australia. On that occasion, the center forward, who currently plays for Alianza Lima (PER), scored after receiving a pass from Cueva.

HOW WAS ARRASCAETA’S GOAL IN THE 2022 WORLD CUP?

Arrascaeta also made his mark at the World Cup as a Flamengo player. In 2022, at the tournament held in Qatar, the current Mengão No. 10 scored both of Uruguay’s goals in a win over Ghana.

Arrascaeta’s first goal came after the player pounced on a rebound from a shot by Luis Suárez. On that occasion, the midfielder only had to nod it in to open the scoring. The second was a beauty. That’s because the Flamengo player received a pass from the striker and struck a volley into the net.

HOW WAS PLATA’S GOAL IN THE 2026 WORLD CUP?

In the current edition of the World Cup, it was Gonzalo Plata’s turn to find the net and represent Flamengo in the competition. The striker’s goal came in Ecuador’s match against Germany on Thursday (25).

Plata’s goal came from a corner kick. In the play, the striker got in front of Neuer and, with a subtle touch, turned the match around against Germany. With the win, Ecuador secured a place in the next stage of the World Cup as one of the best third-placed teams.

HOW MANY FLAMENGO PLAYERS WERE CALLED UP FOR THE 2026 WORLD CUP?

Besides Plata, Flamengo is being represented by other players at this World Cup. For Brazil, Ancelotti called up Alex Sandro, Danilo, Léo Pereira and Lucas Paquetá, while Arrascaeta, Varela and De La Cruz are with Uruguay. Finally, Colombia has Jorge Carrascal.
