Flamengo drew 1-1 with Independiente del Valle to reach the Libertadores semi-finals, rescued by Arrascaeta off the bench. He equalised at 13 minutes of the second half after a goalkeeping mistake.

According to Globo.com, this was Flamengo’s worst display under Leonardo Jardim, with several starters below par.

In the first half, Bruno Henrique missed a clear chance on 13 minutes from Lucas Paquetá’s pass, the midfielder starting in Arrascaeta’s place.

Del Valle went ahead when Rossi pushed a shot into danger, Ayrton Lucas was beaten by Perelló, Léo Pereira mistimed his challenge and no one attacked the rebound.

Soon after the interval, Ortiz tidied up a Pulgar error, then Bruno Henrique dribbled into the box but passed to nobody. Arrascaeta came on on 13 minutes of the second half and pounced on a bizarre keeper error to level.

Jorginho was booked for stopping a counter after a misplaced pass, then sent off on 19 minutes for an unnecessary elbow. Paquetá toiled, twice gifting Del Valle chances and later trying a backheel that sparked another counter.
