In the debut of the 2024 Libertadores, Flamengo faced an altitude of 2.625 meters and drew with Millonarios, 1-1, on Tuesday night (2), at the El Campín stadium, in Bogotá-COL. Pedro, from a penalty, was the author of the red-black goal in the second half. Now, Mais Querido focuses on the second leg of the Carioca decision against Nova Iguaçu, next Sunday.

The game
The match began with both teams closely studying each other. Flamengo's first good opportunity came just four minutes in. Cebolinha sent a pass into the box for Bruno Henrique to cross into the box. Viña took a shot, but the ball ended up too high.

In the 12th minute, another good move from the red-and-black team. Arrascaeta received a pass at the edge of the box, tried to dribble past two defenders, and the ball fell to Bruno Henrique, who shot hard, but Montero made a good save. The Mais Querido (Most Beloved) team sought to maintain possession and attempt to attack through passing.

In the final stretch of the first half, Millonarios began to pose more of a threat to the red-and-black goal, forcing Rossi to make a great save in the 39th minute. The teams went into the break with the score tied at zero.

In the second half, coach Tite brought on Allan for Igor Jesus. The game was open, with both teams looking to attack. In the 15th minute, Arrascaeta was pushed inside the box, and the referee awarded a penalty and sent off Vásquez. Pedro slotted the ball into the middle of the goal to open the scoring at El Campín: 1-0.

With an extra man, the Rubro-Negro valued possession in the attacking half. In the 34th minute, Erick made a mistake when clearing the ball, and Daniel Ruiz, who had just come on, leveled the score for the Colombians: 1-1. In stoppage time, Pulgar fired a first-time shot into the box, but the ball went wide. The match ended in a draw in Bogotá.
