Flamengo eye landmark achievement in Libertadores clash with Racing | OneFootball

A goal in the aggregate score gives Flamengo an advantage over Racing (ARG) in the Libertadores semifinal

Flamengo only needs a draw against Racing (ARG) to reach the final of the Libertadores. However, increasing the lead over the Argentinians could provide more peace of mind for the Rubro-Negro and also help the team achieve a scoring milestone in the tournament.

This is because scoring at El Cilindro, in Argentina, will make Flamengo reach 120 away goals in the history of the Libertadores. Overall, the Most Beloved could reach 355 goals in the competition. The data comes from the site 'OGol'.

What were the last away goals?

Away from Maracanã, Flamengo scored twice at Beira Rio against Internacional. On that occasion, Arrascaeta and Pedro scored the goals that secured the qualification for the quarterfinals of the Libertadores.

For this Wednesday's match (29), however, Pedro is not available due to injury, but Arrascaeta is. The Uruguayan midfielder is Flamengo's top scorer in this edition of the tournament with two goals.

Breaking a taboo?

Another motivational factor for Flamengo is breaking the taboo of never having eliminated Racing in a knockout stage. This is because the teams have met twice before, and on both occasions, the Argentinians came out on top.

When does Flamengo vs. Racing take place?

Flamengo faces Racing this Wednesday (29), for the return leg of the Libertadores semifinal. The decisive match takes place from 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at El Cilindro, in Avellaneda.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best online coverage through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel) and GE TV (YouTube) will broadcast Flamengo vs. Racing.
