Flamengo continues its quest for the top position in the Brazilian Championship, demonstrating strength during their away match against Chapecoense on Wednesday (22). The Rubro-Negro secured a comfortable victory without much difficulty.

Pedro shone brightly, scoring two goals—including a remarkable first strike—and providing an excellent assist that led to the match’s third goal.

This impressive performance elevated the Flamengo forward to the top of the Brasileirão scoring chart with 12 goals, surpassing Athletico-PR’s Kevin Viveros by one goal.

Lorran, who entered the match in the first half as a replacement for the injured Gonzalo Plata, also contributed by finding the net. Additionally, Chapecoense’s Rafael Thyere was unfortunate enough to score an own goal from a corner.

Chapecoense struggled to pose any real threat to Flamengo throughout the match. When they did manage to push forward, goalkeeper Rossi made crucial saves.

In contrast, Flamengo displayed a clinical approach in attack, leading the match 2-0 by halftime.

The match also marked the return of Giorgian de Arrascaeta, who had been sidelined for nearly three months due to injury.

The result leaves Flamengo seven points behind the league leaders, Palmeiras, who have played one more match.
