Flamengo Retires No. 14 for Oscar Schmidt as Arrascaeta Scores in Tribute

Overview

• Flamengo beat Bahia 2–0 at the Maracanã on Sunday in the Brasileirão, with goals from Giorgian De Arrascaeta and Lucas Paquetá.
• Arrascaeta wore the No. 14 to honor late basketball legend Oscar Schmidt, lifted the shirt to the crowd, and mimed a basketball shot after scoring.
• The goal was Arrascaeta’s 104th for the club, which ties him with Evaristo de Macedo for 20th on Flamengo’s all-time scoring list.
• Flamengo had formally retired the basketball team’s No. 14 on Saturday in a unanimous board vote as a club-wide tribute to Schmidt.
• Midfielder Saúl returned from ankle surgery and set up Paquetá’s late goal with his first touch, later sharing that his son is in intensive care.
