Peru's top striker Paolo Guerrero showed an amazing performance at Brasileirao tournament's Flamengo-Palmeiras match on Wednesday.

Flamengo's Para received a pass from Guerrero which he slid into the net in the minute 8th. 

Afterwards, William and Roger Guedes scored in the 32nd and 43rd minutes. Thus, Palmeiras was partially winning 2-1.

However, Flamengo resurrected a minute later. A ball caught by the Inca athlete would hit the net and became the game's drawing goal (44th minute).

In the end, Brazil's Flamengo drew with its national counterpart (2-2) at Rio de Janeiro's Luso Brasileiro Stadium.

Thanks to this result, Guerrero's team ranks fourth at Brasileirao Cup with 25 points, behind Santos (27), Gremio (31) and leader Corinthians (37). 

It is worth noting the 33-year-old has made a total of 40 goals defending the "Mengao" since 2015.
