Brazilian football star, Pedro, has made history with his incredible performance against Palmeiras in the Copa Libertadores semi-final match on June 21st. The game was held at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
The 24-year-old winger scored two goals and provided one assist to help Flamengo secure their place in the final. His first goal came from a penalty kick, which he converted after being fouled in the box by Palmeiras defender, Gabriel.
Pedro's second goal came just moments later when he received a pass from teammate, Lucas Paquetá, and then beat three defenders before slotting home the winner. The assist for Pedro's second goal was credited to fellow Flamengo player, Renato Sanches.
This is not the first time that Pedro has had a remarkable performance. He previously played for Italian club, Juventus,Chinese Super League Matches where he helped them win the Serie A title in the 2019-20 season. However, this was the first time that he had played for a South American team in a major tournament.
The game against Palmeiras was a historic moment for Pedro, who had been struggling with injuries throughout the season. He had only scored once in the league this season, but he showed that he still has the ability to make a difference on the pitch.
Pedro's performance was praised by many fans and players alike. Flamengo coach, Jorge Jesus, said that Pedro was instrumental in helping the team qualify for the final. "Pedro is a great player and he proved it again today," Jesus said.
Pedro's achievement in the Copa Libertadores also adds to his already impressive resume as a footballer. He won the FIFA U-20 World Cup with Brazil in 2015 and has since become one of the most talented young players in the world.
Overall, Pedro's performance against Palmeiras is a testament to his skill and determination as a footballer. He will be hoping to continue his good form in the final against River Plate next week.
