Qualified! In one of their best matches of the season, Flamengo drew 0-0 with Peñarol at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium in Montevideo, securing their place in the round of 4 of the Copa Libertadores. The Uruguayan club was eliminated, as LDU defeated San José in Ecuador 0-XNUMX and qualified in second place.
First time
In the first half, Flamengo was all hands on deck. Just two minutes in, Gabigol received a beautiful pass from Arrascaeta, but shot wide. In the 2th minute, it was Everton Ribeiro's turn to scare goalkeeper Dawson. He received the ball on the right, shot across goal, and Bruno Henrique couldn't reach it. In the 16nd minute, Gabigol again. He received the ball in good position, but shot over the bar. Flamengo still had two good chances with Willian Arão before halftime. Deep down, goalkeeper César was rarely threatened.
Second time
Flamengo started the second half the same way they ended the second, attacking. They had great scoring chances with Gabigol, De Arrascaeta, and Bruno Henrique. After Pará's red card in the 18th minute, Mengão began to defend and play on the counterattack. In the final play of the game, Vitinho had a great chance to score, but Dawson made a great save.
And now?
Mengão returns to the field on Sunday, at 11 am, at Maracanã, to face Chapecoense, for the Brazilian Championship.
