Pedro scores two, and Flamengo takes the Rio title against Nova Iguaçu

This Saturday, the 30th, the Flamengo faced the New Iguaçu for the first match of the final Carioca Championship. The game was on Maracanã, but the command was from the Baixada Fluminense team. Even so, Mengão didn't take notice and won a very important victory, with a score of 3-0.

From the start of the match, Flamengo was expected to be much more purposeful on the field. Although Nova Iguaçu has a lot of quality and has proven this throughout the competition, the team could not expose itself much against Carioca's best campaign. The orange team held on well until the 20th minute, when Pedro opened the scoring.

Taking a penalty suffered by Ayrton Lucas, Pedro took responsibility and overcame Fabricio. On the other hand, Nova Iguaçu's goalkeeper still made a great save to prevent the number 9's second goal. At the end of the first half, the attacker scored again, but the goal was canceled with the help of the video referee. Interval! 1 to 0.

In the second stage, Flamengo continued to press and seek to expand its advantage, with the aim of winning the state title very well. At 7', Scallion received a great launch and had space to advance on the left side. The number 11 raised his head and served Pedro as he entered the small area and scored his 11th goal in the Carioca Championship.

In the final stretch of the match, Nova Iguaçu looked for some alternatives to reduce Mengão's advantage, but the home team held on well and continues to have a practically “impenetrable” defense in the Carioca Championship. Flamengo had time to score another, an own goal from Ronald. End of the game! 3 to 0.
