Marcelo Rangel reveals Pedro's reaction after 'miracle' in Flamengo v Remo | OneFootball

Remo goalkeeper denied Pedro a goal this Sunday (06)

Flamengo’s 1-0 win over Remo this Sunday (06) could have been much more lopsided if not for Marcelo Rangel’s outstanding performance in goal. Responsible for pulling off a true “miracle” on Pedro’s shot, the goalkeeper from Pará revealed the number 9’s reaction after the save.

— About the save, Pedro even joked with me, “How did you do that?” I told him, “It wasn’t me, it was God through me.” I’d trade my individual performance for the win, but unfortunately it didn’t come -, said Marcelo Rangel in an interview on the sidelines.

How did the play between Pedro and Marcelo Rangel happen?

Ten minutes into the second half, Ayrton Lucas crossed and found Pedro alone in the six-yard box. With the ball in the air and facing the goal, the number 9 hit it first time, but goalkeeper Marcelo Rangel stretched out and produced a real miracle to keep Flamengo from scoring.

What did Leonardo Jardim say about Pedro’s missed chance?

— Pedro only didn’t score today because the goalkeeper made two spectacular saves. He made two saves from headers, one from Pedro. And on the second one, he made maybe the best save of the year in the league. He closed his eyes and managed to keep out the ball that everyone already thought was in -, said the Flamengo coach.

Who scored Flamengo’s goal?

Even with the great save on Pedro’s shot, Marcelo Rangel could not prevent Remo’s defeat. In the 19th minute of the second half, Arrascaeta played a lovely pass to Samuel Lino, who poked it with the tip of his boot into the left corner of the goalkeeper from Pará.
