Flamengo suffered the biggest defeat in its history in the soccer Libertadores Cup, of which it is the title champion, on Thursday when it was defeated at the Independiente del Valle stadium, 5-0.
In the match of the third day of group A of the most important club competition in South America, the Brazilian champion and winner of the Libertadores in 2019, under the command of Portuguese coach Jorge Jesús, was ‘run over’ by the Ecuadorian team.
Moisés Caicedo (40 minutes), Angelo Preciado (49), Gabriel Torres (59), John Jairo Sánchez (81) and Beber Caicedo (92) were the scorers in the win, which surpassed the worst previous record of ‘Mengão’ in the race. in 1984, against Grêmio (5-1).
This was also the biggest defeat for the Rio de Janeiro team in 11 years, when they lost in 2009, at Brasileirão, against Coritiba, also 5-0.
Flamengo, who conquered almost everything possible with Jorge Jesús -Copa Libertadores, championship, Supercopa Sudamericana and Supercopa de Brasil-, hired Spanish coach Domenec Torrent, Pep Guardiola’s former assistant, at the end of July.
Torrent arrived to replace Jorge Jesús, who renewed with the club, but ended up returning to Portugal and Benfica, after payment of the termination clause, but has not achieved great results.
In Libertadores, the team suffered the first defeat in Domenec Torrent’s first game, and is now runner-up, with six points, behind Independiente del Valle, who has won three in three games.
In the Brazilian championship, Flamengo is also far from the performance of Jorge Jesús, with three defeats and two draws in 10 days, occupying fifth place.
