Léo Ortiz delivers stunning assist, Flamengo fans go wild online | OneFootball

Léo Ortiz was praised by Flamengo fans on social media

Flamengo defeated Vitória 2-1 this Tuesday (10th) at Barradão Stadium, in a match valid for the Brasileirão. Besides the positive result, another factor caught the attention of the red-and-black fans: Léo Ortiz's assist in the second goal for Mengão, generating reactions on the internet.

WHAT WERE THE REACTIONS?

“Jokes aside! I love you, Léo Ortiz, number 10 of the defense”, said a Flamengo fan on X, formerly Twitter, about the defender’s pass. Soon after, another red-and-black supporter mentioned: “He’s the number 10 of the defense, Léo Ortiz.”

Finally, another fan highlighted: “In a game where Léo Ortiz was technically well below his best, he still manages to deliver a GENIUS assist like that. A player who is out of rhythm, but didn’t get the nickname ‘number 10 of the defense’ for nothing. He’s a real star and needs to get back in form as soon as possible.”

HOW WAS LÉO ORTIZ'S PASS?

At 48 minutes of the first half, Flamengo had a free kick in the center circle of midfield. However, Léo Ortiz didn’t care about the distance and delivered a great long pass to Everton Cebolinha. The striker controlled the ball and sent it to the back of the net.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Now, Flamengo leaves the Brasileirão aside and goes back to focusing on the Campeonato Carioca. The red-and-black team faces Botafogo on Sunday (15th), at 5:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Nilton Santos Stadium, for the state championship quarterfinals.
