Corinthians are in the Libertadores quarterfinals, but Mirassol have been eliminated. That is because, this Thursday (20), Rosario Central (ARG) lost in São Paulo, while LDU (ECU) advanced on penalties in Ecuador.
Therefore, the São Paulo side could end up in Flamengo’s path if both teams reach the semifinals. So, here are the results of this Thursday’s (20) Libertadores Round of 16 matches:
The teams returned from halftime with the score still 0-0, when Raniele was shown a red card in the second half. Even with one player fewer, however, the black-and-white side scored through Breno Bidon, assisted by Memphis Depay.
The team from the interior of São Paulo managed to hold off LDU at Ecuador’s altitude. As a result, the aggregate remained 0-0, which sent the tie to penalties. The Brazilian side then missed one kick through Victor Luis, while the home team converted all of theirs.
Fluminense will face Platense (ARG) in the quarterfinals, while Palmeiras take on LDU. On the other side, Estudiantes (ARG) face Corinthians, while the Rubro-Negro await their opponent for the knockout stage.
After eliminating Cruzeiro, Flamengo are waiting for the result between Tolima (COL) and Independiente del Valle (ECU). The Ecuadorians won 1-0 in Colombia and hope to seal qualification at home.
Having qualified in the Libertadores, Flamengo will face Cruzeiro again, but in the 24th round of the Brasileirão. The ball starts rolling at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Saturday (22), at Mineirão.
Coluna do Fla TV will show the details of the match with on-site coverage from Rodrigo Lima and Rock Hudson on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Amazon Prime (streaming) will broadcast the Brasileirão clash.
“Mirassol had a strong Libertadores debut. There are first-timers who do not even make it to the Copa Sudamericana, but the São Paulo side gave a continental champion a hard time in the Round of 16,” said João Vítor Reis of Coluna do Fla.
