Flamengo striker involved in 5 goals in Copa do Brasil thrashing of Vitória | OneFootball

Samuel Lino opened Flamengo’s 8-0 thrashing of Vitória in the Brasileirão

It can be said that forward Samuel Lino was “inspired” on the night of last Monday (25). That’s because the number 16 was directly involved in five of Flamengo’s eight goals in the rout over Vitória, in the 21st round of the Brasileirão, at Maracanã.

The match had barely started, and Flamengo was already pressing Vitória’s ball out. Then, Samuel Lino received a pass from Arrascaeta, advanced, entered the box and, even with little space, finished with his right foot. The goal was the first by the former Atlético de Madrid (ESP) player wearing the Sacred Mantle.

What else did Lino do in the match?

Where did Lino come from?

Remember that Flamengo shelled out 22 million euros (about R$ 143 million at the current exchange rate) for the signing of Samuel Lino, plus up to 2 million euros (R$ 13 million) in performance bonuses. So, the forward left Atlético de Madrid to sign with Mengão for four and a half years.

And the rout?

The rout with the participation of Samuel Lino kept Flamengo at the top with 46 points, four ahead of second-place Palmeiras and five ahead of third-place Cruzeiro. Vitória, however, is experiencing the exact opposite, in 17th place with 19 points.

When is Flamengo playing again?

With Samuel Lino available, the Most Beloved returns to the field only on Sunday (31), at 4pm (Brasília time), for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. So, Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage of the match on the website, social media, and YouTube.
