Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (20), when they face Estudiantes (ARG) in the fifth round of the Libertadores. With only a few hours left before kickoff, Coluna do Fla decided to look back at the last meeting between the teams at the Maracanã.
The last time Flamengo and Estudiantes faced each other at the Maracanã was on September 18, 2025. On that occasion, the teams played the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals, and Mengão came out on top 2-1. Pedro and Varela found the net, while Léo Pereira scored an own goal.
In addition, the match featured the controversial sending-off of Gonzalo Plata. On that occasion, the Ecuadorian was fouled, but the referee judged that the forward had gone in studs-up on the Estudiantes defender and punished the player with a second yellow card. After the match, however, Conmebol rescinded the red card.
Flamengo: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; De La Cruz, Saúl and Arrascaeta; Gonzalo Plata, Samuel Lino and Pedro. Coach: Filipe Luís.
Estudiantes: Muslera; Gómez, Núñez, Rodríguez and Arzamendia; Piovi, Amondarain and Ascacíbar; Farías, Medina and Carrilo. Coach: Eduardo Domínguez.
Flamengo, at the moment, remain at the top of Libertadores Group A with seven points. Next comes Estudiantes, with six points. Finally, Independiente Medellín (COL) and Cusco (PER) occupy the bottom two places, with four and one point, respectively.
1st Flamengo – 07 points 2nd Estudiantes – 06 3rd Independiente Medellín – 04 4th Cusco – 01
The match between Flamengo and Estudiantes takes place this Wednesday (20), in the fifth round of the Libertadores group stage. So, the ball starts rolling at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time, at the Maracanã.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Estudiantes through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air), GE TV (Globoplay), and Paramount+ (streaming) will broadcast the Libertadores match.
