How was the game between Flamengo and Cruz Azul (MEX)?

Flamengo defeated Cruz Azul (MEX) 2-1 on Wednesday (10), securing a spot in the Intercontinental semifinal. Despite a below-par first half, the Rubro-Negro regained control of the game in the second half. After the match, Bruno Henrique revealed what changed during halftime.

— I think the difficulty we had was when trying to release the pressure; it wasn't fitting well in the first half. This made our positioning a bit difficult. At halftime, we fixed it and that's when we managed to release at the right time -, he said, before concluding:

— Filipe managed to read this well and so did we. It made us put the ball more on the ground in the second half and find the passes, approach, and have more advantage when finishing. At these were the points we managed to see at halftime that gave us the victory in the second half -, concluded Bruno Henrique.
