On Wednesday night (28), Flamengo was defeated by Palestino 2-1 and ended its participation in the Copa Sudamericana. After conceding two goals in the first half, Alan Patrick scored for the Mais Querido in the second half, but could not prevent elimination from the tournament. With the result, the Maior do Mundo now focuses on the Brazilian Championship. The team is in second place, just one point behind leader Palmeiras. After the game, Márcio Araújo spoke about the match and lamented the result.

"Unfortunately, our first half was very bad. We let our guard down and they surprised us. The second half was different, but we couldn't do it," said the number 8.

Next Saturday (01), Rubro-Negro faces São Paulo, at Morumbi, at 16 pm, for the Brazilian Championship.
