Flamengo started the match in overwhelming fashion against Estudiantes (ARG) this Thursday (18th), in the Libertadores. With just 15 seconds on the clock, the Rubro-Negro activated ‘turbo mode’ and scored the first goal at Maracanã. With this, Pedro became responsible for the fastest goal in the team’s history in the Libertadores.

The play for the first Flamengo goal started right at the opening whistle. That’s because, from the kickoff, the offensive system of Mengão quickly reached the attack. Already inside the box, Pedro exchanged passes with Plata. In the sequence, the number 9 ‘fought’ with the opponent and managed to find the right corner of the Estudiantes goal.

After Pedro broke the record, Flamengo managed to score a second goal before the ten-minute mark. At eight minutes, Varela took advantage of a beautiful cross from the left. Finally, inside the box, the Uruguayan struck a first-time shot, leaving no chance for the Estudiantes goalkeeper.

It’s important to note that, in addition to this Thursday’s game (18th), Mengão and Estudiantes will wrap up the ‘decider’ next Thursday (25th), in Argentina. Thus, the second leg will take place at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in La Plata.
