The Brazilian football league, also known as the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, is one of the most prestigious leagues in South America and has produced some of the greatest players in the world. However, it was Alan Franco who made history by breaking the wings of a goalpost during a match between his team, Flamengo, and their opponents, Vasco da Gama.

On October 17, 2016, Flamengo played against Vasco da Gama at Estádio do Maracanã, one of the largest stadiums in Brazil. The match was highly anticipated due to the rivalry between the two teams, but it quickly turned into a nightmare for Flamengo when they scored twice within three minutes. However, the match took a dramatic turn when Franco, who plays as a midfielder, broke the goalpost with his head.

As the goalposts were being repaired, Franco was given the opportunity to make amends for his mistake. He calmly walked up to the post and kicked it back into place, much to the delight of the crowd. This act of bravery and determination earned him widespread admiration from fans and fellow players alike.

This incident marked a turning point in Flamengo's season and inspired them to perform even better. They went on to win the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A that year, becoming the first team to achieve this feat since 1998. Franco's performance in that match will always be remembered as a testament to his courage and dedication to the sport.
