Standout star pulls the strings for Fla against Bahia | OneFootball

Giorgian de Arrascaeta changed it in the 17th minute with a composed left-footed finish, setting up Flamengo to beat Bahia 2-0.

De Arrascaeta ghosted into the centre to sweep in after Pedro's pass (17.), a timed run that gave Mengão the platform they wanted.

He then whipped a cross following a corner onto Pedro's head (20.). After the restart he drew Léo Vieira into a low save (53.), with the Tricolor Baiano struggling to track his bursts between the lines.

Soon after, he glanced a header against the left post (56.). He was withdrawn (79.) after dictating the spaces around the box.

He finished with five key passes, four attempts with two on target, and nine touches in the area, knitting attacks for Fla and constantly feeding runners beyond him.

Fla host Vitória in the Copa do Brasil next. Bahêa face Remo in the same competition.
