Ex-Flamengo star Wesley scores stunner, becomes Roma hero in Serie A win | OneFootball

Roma (ITA) is just three points behind the leader Inter Milan (ITA), which has 33

The right-back Wesley, former Flamengo player, donned a 'superhero cape' and saved Roma (ITA) this Monday (15). The Brazilian's goal against Como (ITA), at the Olympic Stadium, kept the team in the fight for the leadership of the Italian Championship.

Roma and Como were tied at 0-0 until Wesley struck a powerful right-footed shot that hit the post and found the back of the net in the 15th minute of the second half. The team from Gávea's academy reached 30 points, three less than the leader Inter Milan (ITA), in the 15th round.

How is Wesley in Italy?

Number 45 arrived earlier this year but already has 20 games for Roma, starting in 13 of them. There were occasions when Wesley played improvised on the left-back. Against Como, however, the Brazilian was in his original position.

When did Wesley play for Flamengo?

Wesley joined Flamengo in 2020, after playing in the youth categories of Atlético Tubarão, from Santa Catarina. First, the right-back was part of the under-20 team and secured a starting position in the main team in 2023, until his sale in 2025.

How is Flamengo doing?

Wesley's former team returns to the field this Wednesday (17) to face PSG (FRA). The grand final of the World Cup takes place from 2 PM (Brasília time), at Al Rayyan Stadium, in Doha, Qatar.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel), GE TV (YouTube), and Cazé TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. PSG game.
