In the second match against Palestino (CHI), a Copa Sudamericana round of 2 match, Flamengo fell one goal short of qualifying and bowed out of the competition. Despite a second-half effort to equalize, which would have been enough for Flamengo to advance, the Chilean team's defensive performance prevailed over the Flamengo's attack, maintaining the 1-XNUMX scoreline.

During the first thirty minutes of the match, the red-and-black team struggled to break through Palestino's block. On the left flank, Fernandinho found more space to reach the byline and attempt crosses, sometimes low and sometimes high. However, Palestino's defense remained well-positioned throughout, managing to ward off Flamengo's dangerous plays.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Cereceda opened the scoring for the Chilean team, capitalizing on a rebound from a free kick taken by midfielder Valencia. The midfielder's shot curved, hitting the post, and the ball bounced just outside the six-yard box, leaving the defender to simply tap the ball into Alex Muralha's net.

In first-half stoppage time, Valencia extended the visitors' lead with a powerful long-range shot, sending the match to halftime with a 2-0 lead. In the second half, Flamengo reduced Chile's lead with Alan Patrick's XNUMXth-minute penalty, but it wasn't enough to secure qualification for the "Mais Querido" (The Most Beloved), who bid farewell to the Copa Sudamericana.

Now the focus is back on the Brazilian Championship. The next match for the red-black team will be next Saturday (01) against the São Paulo team. The match will be played at Morumbi, with the ball rolling from 16 pm.
