Pedro, for example, opened the scoring just 15 seconds in, making it the fastest goal ever scored by Rubro-Negro in the tournament’s history.
In addition, the striker reached his 150th goal wearing the Flamengo shirt, tying Bebeto as the club’s eighth all-time top scorer.
And there’s more: the goal that opened the scoring against Estudiantes was Pedro’s 26th in the Libertadores, surpassing Fred, formerly of Fluminense, and closing in on the tournament’s all-time top scorer: Gabigol (31 goals).
Who are the top 5 Brazilian scorers in the Libertadores?
In addition to having a great team under the command of Filipe Luís, Flamengo also has the “numbers” on its side.
That’s because Rubro-Negro has advanced in six out of eight Libertadores knockout rounds after winning the home leg.
The only eliminations were against Boca Juniors in 1991 and Olimpia in 2023.
