No rest for Flamengo: training for Vasco after Libertadores win | OneFootball

Flamengo faces Vasco on Sunday (21), for the Brasileirão

The Flamengo squad will reassemble on Friday afternoon (19), at Ninho do Ururu. This is because the red-black team did not get a day off after their victory in the Libertadores of America last Thursday (18).

According to details released by Flamengo, the squad has a training session scheduled to start at 3:30 pm (Brasília time) this Friday (19). The red-black focus now is the classic against Vasco, scheduled for Sunday (21), at Maracanã.

How was the victory in the Libertadores?

In summary, on Thursday (18), Flamengo defeated Estudiantes de La Plata (ARG), by 2 to 1, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Libertadores.

It is important to note that Flamengo scored twice before the 10th minute of the first half, with goals from Pedro and Varela. However, in the second half, the expulsion of Gonzalo Plata and an own goal by Léo Pereira reduced the red-black advantage.

When will the return match be?

Flamengo and Estudiantes will meet again next Thursday (25), at Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi, known as UNO, in Argentina. Then, the Rubro-Negro advances with a draw, while the Argentines need a simple victory to take the dispute to penalties.

And before that?

Before that, however, Flamengo turns its attention to the Brazilian Championship. On Sunday (21), Fla and Vasco take the field from 5:30 pm (Brasília time), for the 24th round of the Brasileirão.

Finally, it is worth noting that the classic between Flamengo and Vasco will be broadcast live by Rede Globo, on open TV. In addition, Premiere, on pay-per-view, also broadcasts the 24th round match of the Brasileirão.
