The goal that meant a special milestone for the number 9 of Flamengo. Pedro became the top scorer of the 'new' Maracanã precisely against the team for which he started his professional shirt – and scored his first 11 goals at the stadium.


With the goal scored at Fla-Flu, Pedro reached 78 goals at Maracanã . No one has hit the stadium's net more times since it was reopened after renovation for the 2014 World Cup.


Gabigol, who until the beginning of this year was the stadium's top scorer since 2013, scored 77 times at Maracanã. This year, Gabigol scored one goal against Mário Filho, and Pedro, five.


Gabigol has more goals than Pedro for Flamengo at Maracanã, but the number 9 has a better average

However, Gabigol is still the player who scored the most goals for Flamengo at the new Maracanã. Of the number 10's 77 goals, 74 were for Flamengo, seven more than Pedro. Gabigol's other three goals at Maracanã were with the Santos shirt.


Third place in the new Maracanã's historic artillery goes to an attacking partner of the red-black goalscoring duo: Bruno Henrique has already scored 53 times at the stadium, once more than Cano, from Fluminense. Fred, also from tricolor, with 45, completes the top 5.

Although he has not yet surpassed Gabigol in the number of goals for Flamengo, Pedro's performance at the beginning of the year made him pass the number 10 on average. He needed 118 matches to reach 67 goals, an average of 0.56.

Gabigol scored his 74 goals in 144 matches, an average of 0.51. In terms of overall goals inside and outside the stadium, Gabigol is Flamengo's top scorer in the century, with 155 goals (48% for Mario Filho). Pedro reached 116 goals yesterday – that is, 58% of the times he scored for Flamengo were at Maracanã.
