Sornoza reveals Del Valle keeper’s reaction after error on Arrascaeta equaliser | OneFootball

Flamengo drew 1-1 with Independiente del Valle at the Maracanã on Thursday, as Arrascaeta punished a mistake by goalkeeper Quintana. After the match, Sornoza detailed the keeper’s reaction.

The equaliser came when Rossi launched long, the bounce deceived Quintana, and Arrascaeta tucked in. According to Coluna Do Fla, Sornoza spoke in the mixed zone after full time.

He said the keeper admitted losing concentration and apologised in the dressing room, and that team-mates embraced him. Sornoza added that such errors happen in football and they would move on.

The midfielder said Del Valle believed they could progress, especially after Jorginho was sent off. He still praised Flamengo’s quality and said he considers them favourites to win the Libertadores.

Flamengo had won the first leg 2-0 in Quito, making the aggregate 3-1. It is their fifth semi-final in the last eight years, and of the previous four since 2019 they lifted the trophy in three.

They will face Estudiantes in the weeks of 14 and 21 October. The first leg is in Argentina, the return at the Maracanã.

Before then, Flamengo host Red Bull Bragantino in the Brasileirão at 18:30 Brasília time on Sunday 20.
