Pedro celebrates goal and assist in 300th Flamengo match: "A perfect night" | OneFootball

Flamengo beat Botafogo 3–0 on Wednesday at Estádio Nilton Santos, in a match valid for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship. It was a special night for Pedro. The number 9 scored a goal and provided an assist, and also reached the mark of 300 games in the red-and-black shirt.

“A perfect night. A goal and an assist in my 300th game. I say I live a dream every day I play for Flamengo,” celebrated the forward.

Importance of the result

Pedro also emphasized the importance of the result in the race for the Série A title.

“It’s an important week, with the clash against Palmeiras. We’re in the fight and will give our all to win and close the gap on them. We’ll fight for the title until the end,” he said.

Consistency and evolution

Finally, the player highlighted the need to maintain a run of games to improve performance.

“It’s important to have consecutive games. Playing one game and not the next sometimes gets in the way of performance and confidence. I always want to be on the field to score, but everyone wants to play. The focus is on helping Flamengo,” he stated.

Situation in the Brasileirão

With the result, the red-and-black reached 58 points and remain in second place in the Brazilian Championship. Filipe Luís’s men therefore stay three points behind leaders Palmeiras (61), who thrashed Red Bull Bragantino. In the next round, Rubro-Negro and Verdão face off in a head-to-head clash.
