Zico, Romário and Arrascaeta share rare feat for Flamengo v Madureira | OneFootball

Three Flamengo Legends Hold Impressive Records Against Madureira

Arrascaeta made history for Flamengo on Sunday (22) by scoring his 100th goal wearing the Sacred Mantle. The opponent? Madureira. The Tricolor Suburbano was also the victim of impressive milestones by Zico and Romário for Mengão.

On October 26, 1982, Zico scored the 600th goal of his career. In a match against Madureira at the Caio Martins Stadium, the eternal number 10 from Gávea found the net at 16 minutes into the second half to achieve this historic feat. On that occasion, the Rubro-Negro won 5-0 in the Taça Rio.

Just like Arrascaeta, Romário also scored his 100th goal with the Sacred Mantle against Madureira. In the 7-0 rout at Gávea on March 7, 1997, the “Baixinho” scored twice: numbers 99 and 100. However, another moment from the match is remembered to this day. The striker was involved in a fierce fight with Cafezinho, from the opposing team.

HOW WAS ARRASCAETA'S 100TH GOAL, AFTER ALL?

In short, when Flamengo was leading 1-0, Samuel Lino was brought down inside the box. After a lengthy review, the referee awarded a penalty. On the kick, Arrascaeta struck hard into the right corner, leaving no chance for Madureira’s goalkeeper. In his celebration, the Uruguayan didn’t even celebrate; he went straight to retrieve the ball from the back of the net, aiming to speed up the restart and try to increase the score.

IS GOAL 101 COMING?

Now, Flamengo fans hope that goal 101 (or more) will come on Thursday (26). Arrascaeta’s team faces Lanús (ARG) in the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana at Maracanã. The match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), with full coverage from Coluna do Fla, who will have a large team at the Sacred Temple of football.
