What did Flamengo post about the victory at altitude in Peru, 3,350 meters above sea level?


Flamengo beat Cusco (PER) 2-0 this Wednesday (08) in Peru, in the opening round of the Libertadores group stage. The Rubro-Negro thus took the chance to joke about the triumph at altitude in Peru.

“Whether on land, at sea, or on the Moon”, Flamengo joked after the win over Cusco in their Libertadores opener. Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, where the match was played, sits 3,350 meters above sea level.

How were Flamengo’s goals scored?

First, Bruno Henrique found the net for Flamengo. Ayrton Lucas received a through ball on the left wing and crossed it in. Number 27, unmarked, headed it home and opened the scoring for the Rubro-Negro.

Then, in the closing minutes of the match, Arrascaeta stepped up. The midfielder took advantage of the goalkeeper’s rebound and shot with his right foot. The keeper made another good save, but number 10 pounced on the new rebound and headed it into the back of the net.
