It's worth noting that the match against the Colombians, valid for the fourth round of Group A of the Libertadores Cup, was suspended by CONMEBOL after protests from the local fans due to the team's poor performance. Fireworks and flares were thrown onto the pitch, making the match impossible to take place. Flamengo returns to action in the continental competition on May 20th, when they face Estudiantes at 21:30 PM at the Maracanã.
