Diego Alves completed 100 matches for Flamengo in the Conmebol Libertadores qualifying game against Emelec at the Maracanã. His good form, with decisive penalty saves and important performances, qualifies him for a fantastic milestone in the Flamengo goal. The number 1 has the lowest average of goals conceded among goalkeepers who have reached more than one hundred games wearing the Flamengo jersey. 

The goalkeeper has an average of 0,88 goals conceded per game, the best mark among those who have played in the Flamengo goal and completed more than 100 games this century.

"I'm happy to have the best average. It's difficult to complete 100 games, even more so with an average below other great goalkeepers. This shows that the work is being done in the best possible way. The goal is always to improve these numbers and that there will be more games and fewer goals," says Diego Alves to the Official Website.

Goalkeeper coach Wagner Miranda highlighted Diego Alves' performance during his two years at Flamengo.

- Diego Alves reached this milestone on the field, working hard and always giving his best for Flamengo. He is an athlete recognized for his technique, important to the club, and the numbers only prove it. Of course, with serious work and dedication, because without that nothing is possible - he emphasizes.
