Flamengo me Careers entered the field on Tuesday night (1st) to compete for a place in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores Cup. In rainy Maracanã, the teams drew 1-1 in regulation time and the match went to penalties. Racing made the best of the loads and advanced to the next phase, now waiting for the definition of the series between Internacional and Boca Juniors.
As the result of the first leg was 1 to 1, Flamengo only had to guarantee a goalless draw to pass the stage, due to the away goal. But, in an unfortunate play, Rodrigo Caio ended up taking the second yellow card and was sent off. On the next play, Sigali took advantage of the red and black defense and did not hesitate. However, in the incorporations, Willian Arão got up more than everyone after a corner and tied the score. But the steering wheel lost the decisive load that ended up being decisive for the elimination of the Cariocas.
Racing now awaits Inter or Boca. The first duel between the teams takes place on Wednesday. The match should have taken place last week, but the Argentine club asked for the postponement due to the death of Diego Maradona. The Brazilian team receives the rival in Beira-Rio, at 9:30 p.m.
In 2019, the year in which they were champions, Flamengo also had a penalty shoot-out in the round of 16. Against Emelec, the Rio team won 4-2. However, this time they ended up eliminated 5-3. It is the second time that Rogério Ceni has lost with the team in a playoff.
THE GAME – Ceni promoted some changes in the Flamengo formation in relation to the first game. They were: the entries of Isla, Rodrigo Caio, Gustavo Henrique and Vitinho in the starting eleven. Even without Gabigol, injured, Flamengo began to press the Argentine ball. From the moments in which they were under pressure, the red and black team managed to overcome the pressure of the adversary and left playing on the left, with Filipe Luis, Arrascaeta, Vitinho and Bruno Henrique. Unlike how it was in the first duel, Racing chose not to go so far in attack.
Playing at home, it was Flamengo who proposed the most attempts in the first half. Racing, by contrast, had little threat. The individual plays used to end in a corner for the Rio team, which proved to have a good weapon in these plays. Gustavo Henrique sometimes offered danger, sometimes he threw the ball towards the goal, sometimes he adjusted to a teammate.
After tightening the Racing defense, Flamengo had a great opportunity with Vitinho. At 24 minutes, the forward found himself face to face with the goalkeeper, but ended up wasting the opportunity. Two minutes later, Rodrigo Caio applied a car facing the rival, stopping the play. The defender finished with a yellow card, the first of the match.
At 44, Vitinho missed the best chance of the match. After stealing a ball from Bruno Henrique while still in the red-black defensive field, the forward ended up finding Arrascaeta on the right. The Uruguayan showed all kinds and immediately stretched the ball to Vitinho on the other side of the field. The number 11 shirt, face to face with the goalkeeper, chose to hit him low and the ball tore paint off the Racing crossbar.
The two teams returned from the locker room unchanged. Flamengo started at the same pace as the first stage. This time, focusing his attacks not only on the left, but on how he started using Isla on the right. More opportunities were created, but a satisfactory completion has yet to be achieved. On the other hand, Racing continued betting on counterattacks, trying to surprise the red and black defense.
At 17 minutes, Rodrigo Caio took the second yellow card after entering from behind. The expulsion of the defender forced Ceni to move the team. Arrascaeta ended up being chosen to go to the dressing room, while João Gomes entered the field. With that, Willian Arão went to defense.
On the first play after Rodrigo Caio was sent off, Gustavo Henrique fumbled inside the box with Lisandro López. The defense Sigali took advantage of the surplus inside the area and put the ball in the goal. The VAR analyzed the images and confirmed the legal position of the Racing player.
Ceni then moved the team again. This time, he chose to take out Éverton Ribeiro for Pedro’s entrance. The center forward soon got his first chance after Vitinho’s play, but the defense ended up cutting back. Without his socks, Flamengo had to rely on his advice to create the plays, which did not have much effect.
In the 32nd minute, Isla had an incredible opportunity with the ball elevated inside the area. But the side did not finish, facilitating the action of goalkeeper Arias. From that moment on, the keeper became the hero of the races, defending two dangerous heads from Bruno Henrique and Willian Arão.
In the final minutes, Ceni opted to put Diego in Gustavo Henrique’s place, trying to give the team more offense. But, in desperation, Flamengo practically created no more real scoring opportunities. However, he just needed one chance. In a corner center, Willian Arão went higher than his rivals and put the ball inside. Rojas still tried to miss in the final moments, but he kicked the goal.
On penalties, Willian Arão wasted Flamengo’s fourth penalty. Fabrício Domínguez went to the fifth and decisive penalty and kicked high, without chances for Diego Alves, placing Racing in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores.
