🌎 Flamengo in 7️⃣ heaven as they torment Tolima in Copa Libertadores | OneFootball

Pedro scored four goals as Flamengo progressed to the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores with a blistering performance against Tolima on Wednesday (8-1 on aggregate).

Scorers: Pedro 5′, 47′, 67′, 79′, Quiñónes (OG) 20′, Barbosa 56′, França 73′; Quiñónes 63′

Leading 1-0 from the round of 16 first leg in Colombia last week, the Rubro-Negro went about killing off this tie straight from the off at the Maracanã.

Giorgian de Arrascaeta was central to the opener, providing the perfect pass for Pedro to drill a shot low and hard to the net.

Flamengo continued to dominate proceedings, but they needed a slice of luck to double their lead. Gabriel Barbosa’s shot was repelled by Tolima goalkeeper William Cuesta only for the ball to bounce off retreating defender Julián Quiñones and over the line before it could be cleared.

Whatever lingering hope Tolima had was killed off two minutes after the break when David Luiz met de Arrascaeta’s free-kick at the back post and nodded into Pedro’s path for the the striker to force home from close range.

Barbosa then made it 4-0 on the night before Tolima captain Quiñones atoned for his earlier mishap by pulling a goal back for the visitors.

But that only spurred Flamengo on, and Pedro headed home Rodinei’s cross to complete his hat-trick before substitute Matheus França got in on the scoring act only a minute after being introduced.

And Pedro notched his fourth goal 11 minutes from time to put the icing on the cake of a memorable night for Dorival Júnior’s charges.
