Video | Wallace Yan nets Flamengo's 2nd v Benfica, Vini Jr-style | OneFootball

Wallace Yan put Flamengo back in front on the scoreboard

After less than three minutes on the pitch, Wallace Yan found the net and scored Flamengo’s second goal in the match against Benfica (POR) this Saturday (11), in a mid-season friendly. Wearing the No. 64 shirt, he even channeled Vinicius Júnior and ‘danced’ in front of the Portuguese team’s fans.

In the 23rd minute of the second half, Samuel Lino received the ball on the right wing and crossed it into the Benfica box. Wallace Yan got ahead of his marker and, with his first touch of the ball, put Flamengo back in front.

Why did Wallace Yan imitate Vini Jr?

On February 17 this year, Real Madrid (ESP) and Benfica faced each other in the Champions League playoffs at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon. Then, five minutes into the second half, Vini Jr scored the first and only goal for the Spanish side and, during the celebration, went to the corner flag and ‘danced’ on the pitch.
