Everton Ribeiro boosts Bahia's bid to avoid early Libertadores exit, Flamengo in group stage | OneFootball

What is Bahia's current situation in the Copa Libertadores?

Bahia has an important commitment in the Copa Libertadores. This Wednesday (25), the Bahian team hosts O’Higgins (CHI) for the preliminary phase of the continental tournament. For the match that determines the team's stay in the continental competition, coach Rogério Ceni has Everton Ribeiro available.

WHAT IS BAHIA'S LINEUP FOR THE MATCH AGAINST O’HIGGINS?

Starters: Ronaldo; Roman Gomez, Gabriel Xavier, Ramos Mingo, and Luciano Juba; Caio Alexandre, Jean Lucas, and Everton Ribeiro; Ademir, Erick Pulga, and Willian José.

Substitutes: João Paulo, Fredi, Luiz Gustavo, Iago Borduchi, Wendel, Acevedo, Erick, Rodrigo Nestor, Kike Oliveira, Sanabria, Everaldo, and Dell.

It's important to emphasize that Bahia needs to win the return match to stay in the Libertadores. In the first leg, away from home, the team led by Rogério was defeated by the Chileans 1-0.

Given this situation, Bahia needs a two-goal difference or more to advance to the third phase of the pre-Libertadores. If the score is repeated in favor of the home team this Wednesday (25), the decision will go to penalties.

DID EVERTON RIBEIRO WIN THE LIBERTADORES WITH FLAMENGO?

Yes! Everton Ribeiro was part of the squad that won two Libertadores with Flamengo. The first was in 2019, after a comeback against River Plate (ARG) in Lima, Peru. Finally, the second was against Athletico-PR in 2022, in Ecuador.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH?

While Bahia tries to advance in the Libertadores, Flamengo already has a guaranteed spot in the group stage of the tournament. Now, Mengão is focused on the Recopa Sudamericana final against Lanús (ARG).

In summary, the match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Thursday (26) at Maracanã. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV provides the most comprehensive coverage of the match on the internet on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media. Finally, ESPN (cable channel) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the match.
