Arrascaeta found the net against Atlético-MG again this Sunday (26) at Arena MRV in the Brazilian Championship. As a result, the Minas Gerais side has become the biggest victim of the Uruguayan’s career.
At the moment, Arrascaeta has already scored 11 goals against Atlético-MG. The Uruguayan found the net against the Minas Gerais team six times wearing Cruzeiro’s shirt and five times wearing Flamengo’s.
The play happened in the 46th minute of the first half. On that occasion, Plata moved forward into the six-yard box and flicked it with his heel to Varela. The Uruguayan, with his first touch, crossed it onto the head of Arrascaeta, who only had the simple task of scoring Flamengo’s third goal.
So, with another goal from Arrascaeta, Flamengo crushed Atlético-MG 4-0 and stayed in second place in the Brasileirão. O Mais Querido is now behind only Palmeiras, who have six more points. However, the Rubro-Negro have a game in hand.
Flamengo face Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (29) starting at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) in Argentina, in the third round of the Libertadores group stage. The match will be broadcast live on free-to-air TV by Rede Globo.
