Arrascaeta equals Flamengo record with stunner v Sport in Brasileirão

What milestone did Arrascaeta reach after the Flamengo vs. Sport match?

Flamengo defeated Sport 3-0 this Saturday (01), in a match valid for the 31st round of the Brasileirão. After Bruno Henrique scored the first two goals for Mengão, Arrascaeta netted the third goal for the red-and-black team. The Uruguayan even achieved a historic record for the Most Beloved.

That's because, with the goal scored against Sport, Arrascaeta reached 94 goals wearing the Flamengo jersey. In doing so, the Uruguayan tied with Doval as the top foreign scorer in the history of Mengão. In other words, with one more goal, the number 10 will stand alone at the top of the ranking.

What did Arrascaeta say?

As I always say, I try to give my best for the group, for Flamengo. And this will have meaning when I stop playing, when I start to realize the magnitude of what I’ve achieved at Flamengo. That’s why we have to keep working, dedicating ourselves, and helping our teammates,” said Arrascaeta.

How was Arrascaeta’s goal?

At 20 minutes into the second half, Bruno Henrique was fouled after being brought down by Lucas Lima. On the free kick, Arrascaeta placed the ball into the top corner of the goal defended by Gabriel. Thus, the Uruguayan scored Flamengo’s third goal of the match.

It’s worth noting that Arrascaeta is Flamengo’s top scorer in the 2025 season, with 21 goals scored. In addition, the number 10 is the second-highest scorer in the Brazilian Championship, with 16 goals, behind only Kaio Jorge, who has 17.

What is the situation in the Brasileirão?

With the victory over Sport, Flamengo took first place in the Brasileirão, with 64 points, at least for the moment. That’s because Palmeiras still plays this round, on Sunday (02), against Juventude, at Alfredo Jaconi.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Arrascaeta available, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (05) to face São Paulo. The match will take place at Vila Belmiro, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), for the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship.

Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. São Paulo match.
