Pedro haunts Estudiantes keeper at the Maracanã; find out | OneFootball

Pedro scored, and Muslera, Estudiantes’ (ARG) goalkeeper, stopped wasting time

Flamengo overcame the time-wasting and beat Estudiantes (ARG) 1-0 this Wednesday (20) in a match valid for the Copa Libertadores. As a result, the Rubro-Negro fans took the opportunity to criticize goalkeeper Muslera on social media after the Uruguayan was beaten.

WHAT’S THE CONTEXT?

Muslera almost managed to hold on to a draw for Estudiantes at the Maracanã. The Argentine club’s goalkeeper wasted time for much of the match, preserving the scoreline and slowing the pace of the game. However, the Uruguayan changed his approach after Pedro’s goal.

Flamengo opened the scoring in the 18th minute of the second half through Pedro. The Rubro-Negro center forward took advantage of a mistake by the Argentine defense and sent the ball into the back of the net. After that, the goalkeeper started speeding up play and forgot all about the time-wasting.

HOW DID THE FANS REACT?

“Waste more time now, you son of a bit@@, goalkeeper. Pedro, my beast of a No. 9,” said one Flamengo fan. Soon after, another said: “Muslera made up for all the time-wasting he did in the game with that assist for Pedro.”

WHEN DO FLAMENGO PLAY?

Now, Flamengo put the Copa Libertadores aside and turn their focus back to the Brazilian Championship. That’s because the Rubro-Negro side face Palmeiras on Saturday (23) at 9 pm (Brasília time), in the 17th round of the national tournament.
