Bruno Henrique ends goal drought, eyes Copa Libertadores final | OneFootball

Filipe Luís started Bruno Henrique in Flamengo’s last match

Bruno Henrique was one of the standouts for Flamengo in the 3-0 victory over Sport last Saturday (01), in the 31st round of the Brasileirão. That’s because the number 27 scored two goals in the match. With that, the forward ended a two-month goal drought.

Before the match against Sport, the last time Bruno Henrique found the back of the net was in the 8-0 win over Vitória, on August 25. On that occasion, the number 27 scored Flamengo’s last goal of the match, after a penalty suffered by Luiz Araújo.

Did Bruno Henrique play as a center forward?

Even though Bruno Henrique revealed a conversation with Filipe Luís about preferring not to play as a center forward, the player continues to play in that role. That’s because, with Pedro injured, the number 27 is the preferred option for the rubro-negro coach.

Thus, the expectation is that Bruno Henrique will remain a starter in Flamengo’s attack in the upcoming matches. That’s because Pedro suffered a forearm fracture and is currently under the care of Flamengo’s Medical Department.

What are Bruno Henrique’s stats in 2025?

Bruno Henrique, so far, has played 51 matches in the 2025 season. In that time, the number 27 has scored 11 goals and provided two assists. In other words, he is Flamengo’s third top scorer of the year, behind only Pedro, with 15, and Arrascaeta, with 21.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Bruno Henrique available, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (05) to face São Paulo. The match will take place at Vila Belmiro, at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), for the 32nd round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.

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