Flamengo defeated Madureira this Sunday (22) by 3-0 at Maracanã, in a match valid for the semifinal of the Campeonato Carioca. Arrascaeta, who came on in the second half, scored a goal and reached the century mark for the red-black team.
This is because, with the goal scored against Madureira, Arrascaeta now has 100 goals wearing the Flamengo jersey. The Uruguayan midfielder reached this milestone in 361 matches played since he joined Mengão in 2019, coming from Cruzeiro.
Arrascaeta scored his second goal of the season for Flamengo in 2026. Before that, he had found the net against Internacional, also from a penalty, but in the Campeonato Brasileiro. Finally, the Uruguayan has not yet provided any assists.
Flamengo went into halftime under boos from the crowd present at Maracanã. However, the Most Beloved came back strong in the second half. This is because Nicolás de la Cruz, Arrascaeta, and Luiz Araújo scored in the 3-0 victory.
Thus, Flamengo now has a significant advantage over Madureira in the semifinal of the Campeonato Carioca. The team led by Filipe Luís can even lose by two goals in the second match and still make it to the state final.
Now, Flamengo sets aside the Campeonato Carioca and refocuses on the Recopa Sudamericana. The red-black team faces Lanús (ARG) on Thursday (26), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the second leg of the final.
