Léo Ortiz and Samuel Lino ‘go at’ Varela after Arrascaeta goal | OneFootball

Why did Léo Ortiz and Samuel Lino jokingly hit Varela?

Flamengo thrashed Atlético-MG this Sunday (26) at Arena MRV in the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship. The atmosphere around the Most Beloved is so relaxed that, after the third goal, Léo Ortiz and Samuel Lino jokingly hit Varela.

That’s because the right back delivered a perfectly weighted cross for Arrascaeta to find the net and secure Flamengo’s third goal against Atlético-MG. So, Léo Ortiz and Samuel Lino went over to Varela and joked with the Uruguayan, who had delivered a beautiful cross.

Right after that, Varela went over to Arrascaeta and celebrated Flamengo’s third goal with his teammate. The goal came in the 46th minute of the first half. In other words, the Most Beloved steamrolled Atlético-MG right in the opening half.
