Flamengo eye historic feat against Racing to reach Copa Libertadores final | OneFootball

Racing (ARG) hosts Flamengo at the Presidente Perón Stadium in Avellaneda

Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (29) to face Racing (ARG) in the second leg of the Libertadores semifinal. In search of a spot in the final of the continental tournament, Mengão needs to achieve an unprecedented feat against the Argentine team.

This is because Flamengo and Racing have already faced each other in knockout rounds on two occasions throughout history. The first was in 1992, in the now-defunct Supercopa dos Campeões, while the second was in 2020, in the Libertadores. In both, the team from Avellaneda qualified and eliminated Mengão.

What are the knockout matches between Flamengo and Racing?

1992 – Supercopa dos Campeões da Libertadores semifinal

2020 – Round of 16 of the Libertadores

How was the first leg?

Flamengo and Racing kicked off the Libertadores semifinal last Wednesday (22), in a match held at Maracanã. The match was very hard-fought at Maracanã, but Filipe Luís' team was better.

However, Flamengo's goal only came at the end. In the 87th minute, Carrascal played it through to Bruno Henrique, who missed the goal. However, on the rebound, the Colombian himself sent it into the back of the net.

What is Flamengo's situation?

Because of the narrow win in the first leg, Flamengo can even draw in Argentina and still secure a spot in the Libertadores final. On the other hand, if Racing wins by one goal, the spot will be decided by penalties.

When do Flamengo and Racing meet again?

The decisive match between Flamengo and Racing takes place this Wednesday (29), in the second leg of the Libertadores semifinal. The ball rolls at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Presidente Perón Stadium, in Avellaneda.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV) and GE TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs Racing match.
