Corinthians are through to the Libertadores quarterfinals, but Mirassol have been eliminated. That is because, on 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, check out the results of this Thursday’s (20) Libertadores round-of-16 matches:
The teams came back from halftime with the score still level at 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 Yuri Alberto.
The team from the interior of São Paulo managed to hold off LDU at altitude in Ecuador. So the aggregate remained 0-0, which took the tie to penalties. The Brazilian team then missed one kick through Victor Luis, while the home side converted all of theirs.
Fluminense will face Platense (ARG) in the quarterfinals, while Palmeiras take on LDU. On the other side, Estudiantes (ARG) will face Corinthians, while the Most Beloved awaits its opponent in 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 this time 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 made a strong Libertadores debut. There are first-timers who do not even make it to the Copa Sudamericana, but the São Paulo team gave a continental champion a hard time in the round of 16,” said João Vítor Reis of Coluna do Fla.
