Flamengo returned to the field for the Conmebol Libertadores this Wednesday (25) and drew 0-0 against Independiente Santa Fé (COL), at El Campín. The Mais Querido almost returned to Rio de Janeiro with the three points. The referee ended the game when Geuvânio invaded the area to finish and shake Zapata's net.
After the match, captain Réver spoke about the incident and also about the red-black team's performance in group 4 of the international competition. "No, we came here to win. You have a situation like that and it ends up messing everything up. Now it's time to think about the home game and do our homework. We had chances to win, but now it's time to settle things at home," said the number 15.
Geuvânio also commented on the referee's decision to end the match at the time of the finalization. "Even though the game is coming to an end, you can't end it with the ball in the attacking half. It's only against Flamengo that these things happen. The feeling is one of indignation. We need to understand that a draw away from home isn't a bad result. We could have had more intensity to win the game; the Conmebol Libertadores is complicated. We still have a chance to get three points in Rio de Janeiro," he said.
"Now we're going full force against Emelec. We'll have the support of our fans and I know they'll be crucial at Maracanã as we try to win at home," Geuvânio added.
