How was the Libertadores final between Flamengo and Palmeiras?

Flamengo controlled much of the first half in the Libertadores final, but couldn't find the back of Carlos Miguel's net. However, in the second half, the Rubro-Negro broke the deadlock and opened the scoring.

At 22 minutes into the second half, Arrascaeta took a corner kick to Danilo's head. Thus, the defender left Bruno Fuchs and Gustavo Gómez behind and rose alone to score for Flamengo. With this, the defender scored the goal that gave the Libertadores title to Fla.

What is Flamengo's next match?

With Erick Pulgar available, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (03) to face Ceará. The match takes place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 37th round of the Brasileirão. In case of a victory, Mengão will be crowned the champion of the championship.

Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel), GE TV (YouTube), and SporTV (closed channel) will broadcast the Flamengo vs Ceará game.
