Pedro goes joint-top of Brasileirão scoring charts after stunner in Flamengo v Vasco | OneFootball

Pedro struck a stunning goal in Flamengo's derby with Vasco on Sunday, moving joint-top of the Campeonato Brasileiro scoring chart.

The strike in the Clássico dos Milhões took the centre-forward to eight league goals, level with Kevin Viveros of Athletico-PR. According to Coluna Do Fla, his consistency has underpinned Flamengo's attack from round to round.

His numbers stand out, with 11 direct goal involvements in 13 matches. Beyond the eight finishes, he has supplied three assists, showing an all-round threat.

In all competitions this year he has 16 goals from 26 appearances, maintaining a high output since January. The centre-forward is in strong physical and technical form.

Last season he finished with 15 goals in 39 games, a campaign affected by injuries and below-par returns. He has already surpassed that total with 13 fewer matches.
