Arrascaeta repeats first-leg goal in Flamengo v Grêmio clash | OneFootball

Arrascaeta also scored against Grêmio in the first round of the Brasileirão

Flamengo drew 1-1 with Grêmio this Sunday (31), in a match valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The only goal for the red-black team came from Arrascaeta, the top scorer for Mengão this season. The Uruguayan even 'repeated' the goal he scored against the same team from the south in the first round of the national tournament.

The goal by Arrascaeta came eight minutes into the second half. After Mengão regained possession, the number 10 exchanged passes with Pedro and received the ball at the edge of the area. Thus, the Uruguayan skillfully shot into Grêmio's left corner. It is worth remembering that in the first round of the Brasileirão, the midfielder also found the net against the southern team with a similar finish.

Recall Arrascaeta's goal against Grêmio in the 1st round of the Brasileirão:

Did Flamengo win the match against Grêmio?

Despite the beautiful goal scored by Arrascaeta, Flamengo conceded a late equalizer from Grêmio, earning only one point this Sunday (31). On the occasion, defender Noriega made a direct pass to Pavón, behind Ayrton Lucas. Already in the red-black area, the number 7 attempted a dribble and the ball ended up hitting the arm of Mengão's full-back. Thus, goalkeeper Volpi scored the goal.

What is Flamengo's next match?

With Arrascaeta available, they return to the field for the Brazilian Championship only on September 14 (Sunday). On this occasion, Filipe Luís's team will face Juventude at 4 PM (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi, for the 23rd round of the tournament. As usual, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match through YouTube, the website, and social media.

However, at this moment, Arrascaeta is eagerly anticipating returning to represent Uruguay in the World Cup 2026 Qualifiers. It is worth noting that coach Marcelo Bielsa has not yet released the list of call-ups for the Uruguayan National Team, but the expectation is that Flamengo's number 10 will be included.
