Arrascaeta put on another ‘show’ wearing the Flamengo shirt this Sunday (17), in the 3-1 victory over Internacional, for the 20th round of the Brasileirão. That’s because the number 10 was involved in all three of Mengão’s goals, in addition to providing two assists. It’s no wonder the Uruguayan is among the players with the most assists in the world since 2019.
Considering club performance, Arrascaeta leads the ranking of players with the most assists since 2019 among athletes in Brazilian football, with 100 assists. Furthermore, the number 10 also appears on the world football list, ranking fourth. Ahead of the Uruguayan are Tadić, De Bruyne, and Messi, respectively. It’s worth noting that the data comes from ‘SuperScore‘.
Arrascaeta started in Flamengo’s 3-1 win over Internacional. For the first goal by the red-and-black, the number 10 crossed the ball to Varela, who ‘flicked’ it to Pedro. The striker then fired a powerful shot into the right corner of goalkeeper Anthoni.
However, Arrascaeta’s two assists came right after. At 12 minutes into the first half, the number 10 found Pedro inside the box. The striker controlled the ball and finished precisely into the back of the net. Finally, at 17′ of the second half, the Uruguayan provided the assist for Gonzalo Plata’s goal, extending the lead for Flamengo.
With Arrascaeta available, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (20) to face Internacional, in the second leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores. The match will take place at 9:30 PM, at Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre. As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website and social media.
