WHEN DOES FLAMENGO FACE ESTUDIANTES?

With absences, but also with reinforcements, Flamengo will face Estudiantes at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Thursday (25th), at the Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium. Additionally, the match is the return leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, ESPN (cable channel) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Estudiantes vs. Flamengo match.

The red-and-black team comes in on a high after winning the first match 2-1 at Maracanã, and has the advantage of a draw to advance to the semifinals. If they lose by one goal, the decision will go to penalties. Coach Filipe Luís is preparing the squad with closed training sessions and total focus on the match.
