What Flamengo need to secure the best overall Libertadores record | OneFootball

Flamengo host Estudiantes this Wednesday (20) in the Libertadores group stage

In the overall Libertadores group-stage standings, the current leader is Rosario Central (ARG), with 13 points. To take over the top spot in the tournament, Flamengo need to win this Wednesday’s (20) match and await a Conmebol decision.

Check out the overall group-stage standings:

At the moment, Mengo lead Group A with seven points. Therefore, a win over Estudiantes de La Plata (ARG) at the Maracanã would take Fla to ten. Kickoff is at 9:30 PM Brasília time, for the fifth round of the continental tournament.

What decision does Flamengo need from Conmebol?

The match against Independiente Medellín (COL) on the 7th of this month was canceled. However, the South American governing body has not yet officially awarded Flamengo the win by walkover, which would mean three points for Mengo.

Would a win over Estudiantes and the walkover give Flamengo the overall lead?

A victory this Wednesday (20), plus the points from the canceled match, would leave Mengão level with Rosario on points. Therefore, the battle for the best group-stage campaign would go to the final round, when Fla face Cusco (PER), while the Argentines take on Independiente del Valle (EQU) in Ecuador.

Where to watch Flamengo vs Estudiantes?

So, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Estudiantes through YouTube, the website, and social media. The match broadcast, however, will be on Globo (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube), and Paramount+ (streaming).
