Argentine media call Flamengo South America’s bogeyman after Estudiantes draw | OneFootball

Argentine media framed Estudiantes' 1-1 home draw with Flamengo as a result to celebrate, stressing the Rio side's status as South America's bogeyman.

Estudiantes fell behind at Estadio UNO in La Plata before rescuing a point. Olé said Flamengo eased off late and the hosts might have pinched it but for Agustín Rossi.

Infobae added that the Argentine goalkeeper made two important saves in the closing minutes as Estudiantes chased a turnaround.

The coverage also focused on Giorgian de Arrascaeta, who suffered a broken collarbone in the third round of Libertadores Group A. Radio Mitre reported that the injury in La Plata casts doubt on his participation in the tournament, noting three goals in 17 matches under Marcelo Bielsa as evidence of his importance to the national team. There was also concern expressed over his World Cup prospects.

Olé wrote that, against the Libertadores champions, a point at home looked attractive before kick-off and even more so after conceding first, reinforcing that aura.

Flamengo now face Vasco on Sunday 03 at the Maracanã, kick-off 16:00 Brasília time, in the 14th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.
