Flamengo and Internacional did their homework this Wednesday (28) and qualified for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, where Palmeiras, Fluminense, Atlético-MG and Athletico-PR have already guaranteed their presence. The only Brazilian team out of the next phase of the continent’s main club competition so far is Corinthians, which, even with a 3-0 victory over Liverpool (Uruguay), goes on to the Copa Sudamericana. Rubro-Negro da Gávea played in front of more than 62,000 fans at Maracanã and took no notice of Aucas (Ecuador) and scored a 4-0 victory at the Maracanã stadium. The result took Flamengo to 11 points, guaranteeing the classification as second in Group A, which ended with Racing (Argentina) as leader. 🖤❤️ Mengão’s thrashing!💪🏻🏆 Defending champion, @Flamengo beat @Aucas45 by 4-0 and are again in the Eighth Finals of CONMEBOL #Libertadores. pic.twitter.com/bEAGsOxx4K — CONMEBOL Libertadores (@LibertadoresBR) June 29, 2023 In the match broadcast live on Rádio Nacional, the team led by Argentinian Jorge Sampaoli showed from the first moves in Maracanã that the objective was to win with peace of mind. As a result, the score didn’t take long to change. In the 8th minute, Wesley made a good move and finished, but Galíndez parried, and Arrascaeta took the opportunity to hit. The ball then deflected and was left clean for Pedro, who did not forgive. The second came out at 29, after a corner kick by Arrascaeta, Léo Pereira got rid of the marking before appearing free to score with a header. And the superiority of Rubro-Negro was such that, even in the first half, it reached the third. After a good table with Wesley, Everton Ribeiro dominated inside the area before touching subtly to Bruno Henrique, who dominated from the right and kicked from the left in the 41st minute. 🖤❤️ Who was missing BH? 🔛 @Flamengo’s shirt 2 ️ ⃣ 7 ️ ⃣ returns to score for CONMEBOL #Libertadores.
