VIDEO | Wallace Yan scores Flamengo's 2nd v Benfica, à la Vini Jr | OneFootball

Wallace Yan put Flamengo ahead on the scoreboard again

After spending 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 number 64 shirt, he even channeled Vinicius Júnior and ‘danced’ in front of the Portuguese side’s fans.

In the 23rd minute of the second half, Samuel Lino received the ball on the right wing and crossed it into Benfica’s box. Wallace Yan then got in front 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 were facing 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 Spanish side’s first and only goal and, during the celebration, went to the corner flag and ‘danced’ on the pitch.
