Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (12), for the match against Atlético-PR, third round of the group stage of the CONMEBOL Libertadores Bridgestone.

Flamengo took the initiative and had a stronger offensive presence in the early stages than Vasco, who thwarted the red-and-blacks with free kicks near the edge of the box. One such free kick, in the 26th minute, was taken by Mancuello, but Martin Silva saved one of Vasco's chances in the first half. A few minutes later, the ball fell to Guerrero alone near the half-moon; the striker beat the first marker, but when he shot, the ball was pinned by the opposing defender. The Argentine midfielder threatened again with a shot from the left edge of the box in the 37th minute, which went just wide of Vasco's goal. Shortly after the one-minute stoppage time was announced, Flamengo came very close with Arão and Guerrero, but the first half ended with the score tied.

Mengão came out swinging in the second half. In the first minute of the second half, Gabriel nearly scored after receiving the ball from a sweet pass from Diego. Five minutes later, the number 35 was fouled hard to the right of the half-moon and the crowd in the stands came to their feet, but the shot was blocked by the wall. The game continued with the red-and-blacks dominating. In the 13th minute, Guerrero delivered a beautiful shot from the edge of the box that was destined for goal, forcing Martin Silva to palm it away. Rodinei and Réver also came close to opening the scoring – the former shot from distance, forcing the Cruzmaltino goalkeeper to clear for a corner; the latter tried his luck with a header from the penalty spot. The pace of the match slowed in the final minutes, and the Maracanã scoreboard still stood at 0-0 at the end of the match.
