Dilemma in attack? Pedro and Bruno Henrique go through distinct moments in Flamengo's season

Pedro and Bruno Henrique experience opposite moments in Flamengo's attack. Pedro, a starter and called up for the Brazilian national team, has gone five games without scoring, having wasted crucial chances in an important match for the Brasileirão lead, including a chest shot that should have been a header.
