Flamengo remain in pursuit of the top spot in the Brazilian Championship.
Even away from home, the Rubro-Negro beat Chapecoense this Wednesday (22) without much difficulty.
Pedro was the star of the night, scoring two goals (the first a stunning strike) and delivering a great pass in the move that led to the third goal of the match.
The performance made the Flamengo forward the top scorer in the Brasileirão, with 12 goals, one more than Athletico-PR’s Kevin Viveros.
Lorran came on in the first half, replacing the injured Gonzalo Plata, and also found the net.
Chapecoense defender Rafael Thyere also contributed by scoring an own goal from a corner.
Chapecoense posed little threat to Flamengo in the match. And when they did get forward, Rossi came up with good saves.
Flamengo, on the other hand, were clinical in attack and had the win well in hand by the first half, going into the break 2-0 up.
The match also marked the return of Giorgian de Arrascaeta, who had been out for almost three months with an injury.
The result keeps Flamengo seven points behind leaders Palmeiras, who have played one more match in the league.
Meanwhile, Chapecoense remain rooted to the bottom of the table, drifting ever farther from escaping the relegation zone.
