🤯 Penalties are looming... Fluminense are SUFFERING v Platense | OneFootball

Making its debut in international competitions, Platense only needed one half to wipe out the advantage Fluminense had built at the Maracanã.

The Argentine side went into halftime leading Tricolor 2-0 on Tuesday night (15).

The match is being played at the Ciudad de Vicente López Stadium and is the second leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals.

Where’s Flu?

It was a first half with little inspiration from Marcão’s team on the ball.

And plenty of mistakes when it tried to contain the opponent’s momentum.

There were complaints about Vázquez receiving only a yellow card after hitting Hulk in the thigh.

The same Vázquez forced Fábio into a great save in the 25th minute.

It was a warning of what was to come.

Mainero had space (and luck) to open the scoring (30').

Unable to respond, Flu was easy prey. And its situation got even more complicated just before halftime.

And Sepúlveda got the better of Thiago Silva before celebrating (47').

As it stands, the scoreline is sending the tie to a penalty shootout.

Whoever advances from this matchup will face LDU or Palmeiras in the semifinals.

The second leg will be this Wednesday (16) in Quito after Verdão won the first leg 1-0.
