Luiz Araújo hits career milestone in Flamengo v Sport Copa do Brasil clash | OneFootball

Luiz Araújo scored a goal and provided an assist in Flamengo's 5-1 victory over Sport in the Brasileirão

The forward Luiz Araújo is experiencing, in numbers, the best season of his career. His contributions to goals in Flamengo's 5-1 victory over Sport on Saturday (09) marked the first time the red-black number 7 reached a 'double-double'.

The term is used when a player reaches double digits in goals and assists, something Luiz Araújo had not achieved before. In 2025, the forward has 13 goals and ten assists.

Had Luiz Araújo come close to a 'double-double' before?

In numbers, the above seasons are the best of Luiz Araújo's career. This year, however, the forward reached the 'double-double' even without being an absolute starter. The number 7 competes for the position with Plata and, recently, with Carrascal.

What were the latest goal contributions from the number seven?

In the 12th round of the Brasileirão, Luiz Araújo scored a stunning goal from outside the box against Sport in a postponed match of the tournament. Additionally, the player provided an assist for Bruno Henrique to extend Flamengo's lead.

Since when has Luiz Araújo been at Flamengo?

In 2023, Flamengo paid 9 million euros (about R$ 48 million) to Atlanta to acquire Luiz Araújo, who also spent five seasons in French football. Since his arrival, the right winger has won two Carioca Championships, a Supercopa do Brasil, and a Copa do Brasil.

What is Flamengo's next match?

With Luiz Araújo available, Flamengo will face Fluminense this Wednesday (19). The match will kick off at 21:30 (Brasília time) at Maracanã, for the 34th round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel) and SporTV (closed channel) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Fluminense game.
