SAO PAULO (AP) - Ronaldinho scored his first goal for Flamengo on Sunday, converting a first-half penalty in his team's 3-2 victory over Boavista in the Rio de Janeiro state championship.
The result sent Flamengo into the semifinals of the Guanabara Cup, the first stage of the Rio tournament, and extended the team's winning start to the season to six matches.
Ronaldinho struck his penalty firmly into the top left corner in the 24th minute, then sprinted to celebrate by punching the air and doing his traditional samba dance in front of Flamengo's cheering fans.
It was only his second match in Brazilian football after 10 seasons in Europe playing for Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and most recently AC Milan.
