Signed as the second reinforcement for Flamengo for the 2026 season, Andrew has already made his debut with the Sacred Mantle. Despite the 2-1 defeat to Fluminense this Sunday (25) at Maracanã, the goalkeeper was praised by Filipe Luís, who highlighted the courage and quality demonstrated by the number 42 in the classic match.
— A difficult debut, in the Fla-Flu, but I really liked his game. A lot of courage to play. A lot of quality too, at times excessive courage, but the first thing is there: courage and quality -, began Filipe Luís, before continuing:
— Then there are some adjustments that we will correct and try to make things easier for him when playing. I really liked the debut. Quite secure, the field was very wet, and he held firm. I really liked his debut -, concluded the coach in a post-game press conference.
In total, Andrew made four saves during the Fla-Flu. At the beginning of the match, even, Léo Ortiz attempted a chest pass back to the goalkeeper, but the ball stopped in a puddle of water along the way. The number 42 had to come out to contest with the Fluminense forward, making the first good save with the Sacred Mantle.
Despite this, the new red-black goalkeeper conceded two goals. Now, Andrew will continue to seek new opportunities, competing for the spot with his mentor, Agustín Rossi.
