Conmebol introduces new VAR rule for Libertadores, Flamengo v Estudiantes Thursday | OneFootball

Flamengo looks to gain an advantage in the Libertadores quarterfinals against Estudiantes at Maracanã

Conmebol announced this Tuesday (16) new changes for the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. Therefore, starting from this stage, the main referee will immediately announce the decision to everyone present in the stadium.

It is worth noting that this measure has already been adopted in a match overseen by Conmebol. In the 2024 Recopa season, the organization also used the ‘transparency’ rule. Now, starting from the quarterfinals of the Libertadores, the criterion will be reinstated.

When is Flamengo’s first match against Estudiantes?

The first match between Flamengo and Estudiantes will take place this Thursday (18), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals. The match is scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with Coluna do Fla bringing the main news about the Rubro-Negro.

Will Maracanã be packed for Flamengo vs. Estudiantes?

Yes! Maracanã will be packed for another Flamengo match in the Libertadores. A little over 55,000 tickets have already been sold in advance, and thus, tickets are only available for the South Sector of the ‘Sacred Temple’.

And the return match?

The second match between Flamengo and Estudiantes will take place on September 25, in La Plata, Argentina. The match is also scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with broadcast on ESPN (cable channel) and Disney+ (streaming).
