Pedro tied and Gabigol scored the goal that led to Flamengo‘s comeback against Criciúma. But the victory had another hero. At least that’s how the fans are referring to Edinho Alves. It was him who threw the ball back onto the field and sparked the whole commotion at the end of the game that ended with the Rubro-Negro triumph at Mané Garrincha.
Watch video:
Edinho exaggerated in his strength when returning the ball kicked towards the stands. It landed in Criciúma’s penalty area while the game was in progress and stayed there. At the 39th minute of the second half, Cebolinha entered the area and just as he was about to finish, midfielder Barreto stopped him with the other ball that had been thrown by the Flamengo fan. Referee Maguielson Lima did not hesitate and awarded the penalty.

. A second ball is equivalent to an object on the field. And when a player throws it towards another player, an indirect free kick should be awarded. If it’s inside the box, it’s a penalty. Gabigol stepped up to take it, and the number 99 executed it with great skill, sealing the 2-1 victory for Flamengo.

Edinho is already reaping the rewards. The video of him and his friend Erick Vitor holding the ball before returning it has gone viral on social media. The Flamengo fans found him and flooded his profile with thanks and jokes.
“Man of the match,” one said. “You’ve done more for Flamengo than Wesley in 4 years,” joked another. “Put a statue of this man at Gávea tomorrow,” requested a third.
Some fans asked Edinho to share his pix number so they could show their gratitude. He, of course, agreed and shared the code, announcing that he will host a barbecue.
