The Libertadores features three matches this Wednesday (19) in the second leg of the Round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores da América. The highlight is Flamengo, who host Cruzeiro at the Maracanã seeking a place in the quarterfinals of the continental tournament. Besides Rubro-Negro’s match, two other clashes will also take place in the competition.
Coquimbo Unido and Platense face off at 7:00 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (19), at Francisco Sánchez Rumoroso Stadium, in Coquimbo, Chile. The match will be broadcast on Paramount+ (streaming).
In the first leg, the teams drew 1-1. Platense opened the scoring with Luciano Giménez in the 35th minute of the first half. However, Coquimbo kept pressing until the end and found the equalizer in stoppage time of the second half, with a goal by Guido Vadalá.
Cerro Porteño and Palmeiras also take the field at 7:00 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (19), at Ueno La Nueva Olla Stadium, in Asunción, Paraguay. The match will be broadcast exclusively on Paramount+ (streaming).
Palmeiras and Cerro Porteño opened the matchup with a 1-1 draw at Nubank Parque in São Paulo. While Flaco López found the net to put the home side ahead, Torres took advantage of a mistake by goalkeeper Carlos Miguel and secured the equalizer for the Paraguayan team.
Flamengo and Cruzeiro face off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in Rio de Janeiro. In the first leg, at Mineirão in Belo Horizonte, the teams drew 1-1. Arroyo scored for the Minas Gerais side, while Lucas Paquetá netted Rubro-Negro’s goal.
TV Globo (free-to-air), GeTV (YouTube), and Paramount+ (streaming) will broadcast Flamengo x Cruzeiro. At the same time, the Coluna do Fla TV team will provide complete live coverage, detailing every moment from pre-match to coach Leonardo Jardim’s press conference.
Meanwhile, Rock Hudson and Rodrigo Lima will bring information directly from the Sacred Temple. In this way, the channel provides news, interviews, and broadcasts daily, ensuring fans a complete Rubro-Negro experience.
Libertadores knockout matches do not have extra time. In addition, away goals are not a tiebreaker. Therefore, if the aggregate score is tied, the decision for a place in the quarterfinals will go to penalties.
