Pedro gets special gift after Flamengo hat-trick vs Vitória 🎁 | OneFootball

Pedro was one of Flamengo's highlights in a historic thrashing in the Brasileirão

Flamengo had a memorable night last Monday (25). This is because, hosting Vitória in the 21st round of the Brasileirão, the Most Beloved won 8-0, in a flawless performance. Among the highlights of the match was the forward Pedro, who scored three goals in the match. With that, the number 9 received a special gift at Maracanã: the match ball.

The practice of taking the match ball home after scoring a hat-trick is already common in European games. In Brazil, however, it is still uncommon to see this 'gift' being given to forwards. Nevertheless, it is not the first time Pedro has taken the match ball after scoring three times. This also happened in 2022, in the Libertadores semifinal against Velez Sarsfield (ARG). On that occasion, Fla won 4-0, and the number 9 of Fla also kept the ball as a souvenir.
