Flamengo players scored three of Brazil’s four goals in the 4-0 win over India this Saturday (03), in Calcutta. Thus, Samuel Lino had the most shots on target, while Pedro capped the scoring with one goal and one assist.
However, before the match, the forward had still not scored for the national team, for which he made his debut under Ancelotti himself last year. So, the numbers confirm Samuel Lino’s first two goals wearing the famous yellow shirt.
Brazil opened the scoring in the 27th minute through Estêvão and doubled the lead in the 41st through Pedro, still in the first half. In the second half, Samuel Lino made it 3-0 in the 12th minute and wrapped it up with the final play at Salt Lake Stadium: 4-0.
Thus, this was Carlo Ancelotti’s third friendly in charge of the national team during this FIFA window, which also marked the end of the club break. However, Brazil’s next match will only be in November, with two friendlies in Singapore against Japan and Singapore.
Flamengo’s October marathon begins on Thursday (08), when the red-and-black side visits Santos at 7:30 p.m. Brasília time, at Vila Belmiro. The match is part of the 29th round of the Brasileirão and marks the clubs’ return to the pitch after the FIFA break.
Then, on Sunday (11), Flamengo returns to Rio de Janeiro to face Fluminense at 5:30 p.m. Brasília time, at the Maracanã, for the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship. After the derby, Mengão will leave the country to begin its Copa Libertadores semifinal campaign.
