Maracanã hosted the NFL's first game in Rio on Sunday (27), Dallas Cowboys vs. Baltimore Ravens, and the halftime show went to Pedro Sampaio and Ricky Martin. The pair performed their unreleased collaboration 'Pikito Pikito' live for the first time as the show's centerpiece.

Pedro opened with a medley of his hits, including 'Sequência Feiticeira' and 'PocPoc', while the Cowboys cheerleaders danced the full 'Jet-Ski' choreography. Ricky Martin sang his classic 'Livin' la Vida Loca', and the set closed with 'Cavalinho' and fireworks. When the show started, the Ravens led 17-13.

Reactions online were mixed: fans said Pedro 'made history' and praised the dancers, while others complained about the audio, saying they could barely hear Ricky Martin on the broadcast.
