Racing bow out of Libertadores, Flamengo prove unbeatable | OneFootball

Racing couldn’t pull off the miracle. Despite playing with an extra man for almost the entire second half and putting Flamengo against the ropes, the 0-0 score prevailed at El Cilindro and, thus, the Academia was left out of the Copa Libertadores final as a result of the 1-0 defeat to Mengao in the first leg.

After a first half in which Facundo Cambeses was clearly the standout player, Gustavo Costas’s team made things difficult for the Brazilian side, but came up against an unbeatable Agustín Rossi. So, even despite the unbelievable red card shown to Gonzalo Plata, their push wasn’t enough, things ended 0-0, and thus, the team from Avellaneda said goodbye to their dream of reaching the final. Now, Filipe Luis’s team awaits either Liga de Quito or Palmeiras in the decisive match.
