📈 Set pieces proving a deadly weapon for Fla with Danilo shining | OneFootball

Flamengo secured its spot in the final of the Intercontinental Cup this Saturday (13th), with a 2-0 victory over Pyramids in Doha, Qatar.

Léo Pereira and Danilo, both with headers, were the scorers for the Rubro-Negro.

Champions of the 2025 Brasileirão, Flamengo was also the leader in set-piece goals in the championship (21), making their strength in this type of play count.

Danilo, who also scored the winning goal in the Conmebol Libertadores final with a header, became the team leader in clearances during the match, with six in total.

In addition, he won all three aerial duels he contested and also scored a header, decisively securing the team’s qualification.

The performance was further proof that Flamengo has dominated set-piece plays this season, something that could be a key advantage for the final.
