Pedro matches Gabigol and Arrascaeta, hits mark Zico missed at Flamengo | OneFootball

Which milestone did Zico not reach wearing the Flamengo shirt?

Pedro was the standout player for Flamengo in the 4-0 win over Atlético-MG last Sunday (26), in the 13th round of the Brasileirão. After all, the No. 9 found the net twice against the Minas Gerais side. In addition, the striker became only the third player in Fla’s history to score against all 11 of the main rivals in Brazilian football.

As a result, Pedro joined Gabigol and Arrascaeta as the only players to have scored against Flamengo’s 11 main opponents. The former No. 99 achieved the feat in February 2022, also against Atlético-MG, while the Uruguayan completed the list later that same year, against Santos.

How many goals has Pedro scored against the G-12 clubs?

Did Zico fail to match Pedro’s milestone?

The top scorer in Flamengo history with 509 goals, Zico was unable to score against Cruzeiro, despite facing the Minas Gerais club in seven matches. Therefore, the greatest idol of Mengão does not appear alongside Gabigol, Pedro and Arrascaeta on the list.

Can another Flamengo player still achieve the feat?

It is worth noting that another player from the current Flamengo squad is close to achieving the feat: Bruno Henrique. The No. 27 has scored 47 goals against the major rivals, but has yet to find the net against Palmeiras. Thus, the forward will face the São Paulo club again on May 23, in the 17th round of the Brasileirão.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Pedro available, Flamengo remains focused on the Libertadores. This Wednesday (29), the Rubro-Negro faces Estudiantes (ARG) at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, in the third round of the continental tournament.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of Flamengo’s match through YouTube, the website and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV) and Paramount+ (streaming) will broadcast the Libertadores match.
