Ronaldinho hands Flamengo first trophy
Posted Monday, February 28, 2011 by UK.eurosport.yahoo.com
Ronaldinho showed he had lost none of his free kick skills when he curled in the only goal as Flamengo beat Boavista in the final of the first phase of the Carioca (Rio de Janeiro) Championship.
The 30-year-old playmaker, yet to shine for Flamengo since his January move from AC Milan, scored with a trademark free kick over the wall from 25 metres that gave the goalkeeper no chance.
The 72nd-minute goal came as relief for Flamengo at Engenhao as they struggled to convert their superiority into goals against surprise finalists Boavista from a small seaside town who upset Brazilian champions Fluminense in the semi-finals.
