🔥A night of the absurd: Thursday's best in the Libertadores | OneFootball

Tonight, another week of The Eternal Glory came to a close, and we bring you the star, the surprise, and the disappointment of the matchday.

Flamengo keep moving forward with confidence

In their debut at the Maracanã, Mengão showed no mercy against Independiente Medellín and won on a great night for Giorgian de Arrascaeta.

The Uruguayan stood out with a goal and an assist, just like Bruno Henrique, who was another of the standout performers. The remaining goals came from Paquetá and Pedro, making it clear that Flamengo are going for back-to-back titles.

Carrascal shocked everyone

And speaking of Flamengo, the big surprise for everyone was the unbelievable chance Jorge Carrascal missed.

Paquetá made a phenomenal play and laid it on a plate for him from 50 centimeters out, but the Colombian had a blunder that will keep him up tonight.

Peñarol disappointed at home

Without a doubt, the Campeón del Siglo experienced one of its toughest nights today, because a win was expected and the setback was significant.

Platense pulled off the surprise with goals from Mainero and a penalty from Zapiola, which left Eric Remedi as the main villain of the night. And with this win for El Calamar, things are getting even spicier in the group.
