Centenary! Flamengo hit 100-goal milestone under Filipe Luís | OneFootball

Filipe Luís turns 40 on the same day Flamengo reaches 101 goals

Coach Filipe Luís received a ‘centennial’ birthday gift this Saturday (09). On the day the coach turns 40, Flamengo scored its 101st goal under the command of the former left-back. The milestone happened at Maracanã, against Mirassol, during the 19th round of the Brasileirão.

With a header, Léo Pereira scored the 100th goal for the team led by Filipe Luís. The play began with Arrascaeta, who found Samuel Lino on the left. Then, the winger crossed perfectly for the defender to head the ball into the corner past goalkeeper Walter.

The 101st goal came after another play between Arrascaeta and Samuel Lino. Again on the left, the number 10 delivered a trivela pass that found Gonzalo Plata arriving. The Ecuadorian then shot as best he could to score the second for the Rubro-Negro in the match.

When did Filipe Luís arrive at Flamengo?

The birthday boy also reached 60 matches in charge of Flamengo as coach. That’s because Filipe Luís has been coaching the Rubro-Negro since October 2024, when the board fired Tite and announced the former left-back, who previously managed the youth teams of the Most Beloved.

When does Flamengo play in the Brasileirão?

Thus, Flamengo returns to the field for the Brazilian Championship on Sunday (August 17), when they face Internacional in the 20th round. The match is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Beira-Rio stadium, in Porto Alegre. With Arrascaeta available again, the Rubro-Negro will try to maintain their lead in the competition.
