Estudiantes boss urges Conmebol to award Flamengo a walkover | OneFootball

Flamengo and Estudiantes (ARG) face off at the Maracanã in the Libertadores

Two weeks later, and Conmebol still has not decided the W.O. of the match between Flamengo and Independiente Medellín (COL) on the 7th of this month. As a result, the situation is starting to bother even Estudiantes (ARG) head coach, Flamengo’s opponent this Wednesday (20).

— For us, it is important to know (the result) because it is a match that should have been played at the scheduled time. The decision needs to be made before the match (against Estudiantes), not after, so that the competition has the utmost seriousness. We need to take the field against Flamengo already knowing what is going to happen -, Alexander Medina demanded at a press conference on Monday (18).

What happened between Flamengo and Independiente Medellín?

With one minute gone in the fourth round of Group A of the Libertadores, the referee had to stop the match between Flamengo and Medellín in Colombia. That was because the Colombian fans used firecrackers and flares to protest against their own club.

As a result, the officiating crew suspended the match, and the next day Conmebol announced its definitive cancellation. However, the governing body still has not awarded the three points to the Most Beloved by W.O., which keeps the situation in Group A unresolved.
