Current champion of the Libertadores, Flamengo did not justify his condition, he became fully involved and scored today (17) by 5 to 0 for Independiente del Valle, with goals from Moisés Caicedo, Preciado, Torres, Sánchez and Beder Caicedo.
Rubro-negro offered no resistance at the Rodrigo Paz Delgado Stadium and saw the hosts take charge of the match valid for the third day of the group stage of the competition. Without gas, imagination and tactical stance, Domènec Torrent’s team delivered one of its worst performances and went into a circle. This was the worst red and black defeat in the history of the competition, beating Grêmio’s 5-1 in edition 84. The last defeat by this marker had been on June 14, 2009, when Coritiba won by the same marker, in a match disputed in Couto Pereira.
Next Tuesday (22), Fla faces Barcelona de Guayaquil, at 7.15 pm, at the Monumental. Del Valle, for his part, visits Junior Barranquilla, at 9:30 p.m., in the Metropolitano.
Caesar avoids a greater tragedy
Goalkeeper Cesar was important in minimizing the tragedy. Only in the first stage, the player was bombed at least five times and made important defenses for Flamengo. In Caicedo’s goal, the rojinegro had no chance, as in the other four. In addition, the red-black did his best against the supremacy of the opponent.
Option for Diego does not work

Dome’s surprise in the starting eleven, midfielder Diego did not fulfill the role that was expected of him. Like the whole team, jersey 10 was not on the right track and was not efficient in the mission of beating the rhythm and getting the team to catch its breath at times of greatest pressure. He was replaced by Bruno Henrique at halftime.
Inactive flamengo
Flamengo never gave a clue that created difficulties for the rival. Unable to hold the ball and clearly physically knocked down in relation to the home team, Fla saw the opponent take the reins of the match and take the game their way. With little movement and without inspiration, the team practically did not activate goalkeeper Pinos, who did not make the defense more difficult in 90 minutes. In addition, the defensive system offered all the spaces that Del Valle needed to build his supremacy.
Del Valle is imposed without difficulty
Del Valle had a very comfortable match in Quito, and was always superior in the duels against Fla. With space to work the ball, the team was sovereign on the field, bombarded César’s goal and naturally built the result against a totally smoothie from the start. With the game already settled, Miguel Ángel Ramírez’s team put Fla at the wheel and waited only for the spaces to hit and consolidate the victory.
Isla has an above-average debut

Despite all the shooting in football, Chilean Mauricio Isla had never played a Libertadores game in his career. In Quito, the player was a piece that clashed a bit with the rest of the teammates. With a reasonable stake in offensive actions, he was one of the few names with some positive prominence. Like the whole team, the 40 jersey was very shy.
Frosty night
The players of both teams faced a cold night in the Ecuadorian capital. By the time the ball rolled, the temperature was 12 degrees and it dropped as night fell. Already in the warm-up, the red and black wore hats, long-sleeved shirts and gloves to protect themselves.
