PEDRO SCORED AND MISSED A PENALTY AGAINST CRICIÚMA
In the match on Saturday (20), Pedro started as a starter for Flamengo. In the first half, the striker did not have many opportunities in the game. However, it was in the second half that number 9 showed up for the red-black team.
After Arrascaeta was fouled, Pedro took the penalty kick. Unfortunately, the striker didn’t take a good shot, and the Criciúma goalkeeper saved it. Nevertheless, Pedro redeemed himself and after receiving a pass from number 14, he scored the first goal for Mengão. Finally, Gabigol, from a penalty kick, sealed the final score of the match.
