Flamengo plays the final round of the group stage of the U-20 Libertadores this Friday (13th). The match will be against Independiente de Medellín (COL), at 9pm (Brasília time), in Quito, Ecuador. For this game, coach Bruno Pivetti will have a missing player in defense: Da Mata.

Defender Da Mata is out of the upcoming match, as he will serve an automatic suspension due to accumulating two yellow cards. Therefore, the defender will miss the clash against Independiente de Medellín. Muñoz and Daniel Carvalho are the options to take his place.

It’s important to note that Da Mata has already played a key role throughout the U-20 Libertadores. That’s because, in addition to his defensive contributions, he scored Flamengo’s first goal in the competition, which was against Estudiantes de Mérida (VEN).
