Flamengo Secures Spot in the U-20 Libertadores Semifinals

Current two-time champions of the U-20 Libertadores, Flamengo are three steps away from a third title. This Tuesday (10th), the Garotos do Ninho thrashed Bolívar (BOL) 4-1. With the result of the other Group A match, the Most Beloved can secure a spot in the semifinals with just a draw in their next match.

WHAT IS THE CURRENT STANDINGS OF GROUP A IN THE U-20 LIBERTADORES?

Only the first-place team is guaranteed a spot in the semifinals. In addition, the second-best team among the three groups also advances to the U-20 Copa Libertadores knockout stage. In other words, Flamengo needs only a draw to continue in the competition.

It's important to highlight that the tiebreaker criteria in the U-20 Libertadores is different from usual. That's because head-to-head results determine who is ahead. So, if Independiente Medellín (COL) beats Flamengo in the last round, they will overtake the Most Beloved.

Even if Flamengo is defeated, the Rubro-Negro will still be in a strong position to secure the spot as the second-best qualified team. After all, with six points and a goal difference of six, it will be difficult for the Rubro-Negro to be surpassed in a hypothetical comparison with the other two runners-up.

WHAT IS THE GROUP A SCHEDULE IN THE LIBERTADORES?

Flamengo will be looking to secure a place in the next round on Friday (13th), starting at 9pm (Brasília time). Coluna do Fla will bring you all the information about the U-20 Libertadores. The match will be broadcast by FlamengoTV on YouTube.
