Flamengo’s 5-1 thrashing of Mirassol featured Pedro as the player with the most shots at Maião last Sunday (16), and he is also the only player with more than 70 goals in the Brasileirão in the current decade. In addition, Ayrton Lucas was the player with the most successful tackles in the 23rd-round match of the Brasileirão.
As a result, the number 9 had four shots, three of them on target, and two ended up in the back of the Mirassol net. Meanwhile, the left back dispossessed opponents five times and also provided an assist. Coluna do Fla got the data from Sofascore.
Pedro: 2 goals; 1.05 expected goals; 4 shots (3 on target); 2/2 duels won.
Ayrton Lucas: 1 assist; 1 big chance created; 27/31 accurate passes (87%); 6/6 duels won; 5 tackles; 8 defensive actions.
Those shots also made Pedro the only player to reach 70 goals. No other player has hit that mark since 2021 so far. Besides the left back and the center forward, Lucas Paquetá also stood out with 47 accurate passes out of 50.
Yes, Mengo became the second club with the most big wins in Brasileirão history. The Rubro-Negro recorded its 160th lopsided victory in the competition. Santos is the team with the most blowout wins in the national league.
Mengão’s match in the 23rd round of the Brasileirão had 55 minutes of ball in play at Maião. So, that was five minutes less than FIFA’s ideal recommendation of 60 minutes.
Now, Flamengo switches focus to the Copa Libertadores. On Wednesday (19), the Rubro-Negro face Cruzeiro in the second leg of the round of 16 of the South American tournament. The match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time at the Maracanã.
It is important to note that, in the first leg at Mineirão, Flamengo and Cruzeiro drew 1-1. So, the Rubro-Negro host the Minas Gerais side at the Maracanã with the tie still undecided.
