Lanús (ARG) Goal Happened Behind Léo Ortiz

Flamengo started at a disadvantage in the Recopa Sudamericana. This Thursday (19th), the Rubro-Negro lost 1-0 to Lanús (ARG), playing in Argentina. The opponent's goal occurred in an aerial play, after a cross to Rodrigo Castillo, who rose behind Léo Ortiz to score. The defender felt the impact.

Pedro Henrique Torre, a reporter for ESPN channels, reported that the number 3 was devastated by the play. “After Lanús' goal, Léo Ortiz lowered his head and shook it negatively for a long time. The defender felt the play a lot, felt he didn't do well in the play,” said the journalist.

HOW WAS THE GOAL?

At 32 minutes into the second half, Sasha Marcich reached the end and crossed from the left. The forward Rodrigo Castillo penetrated the area between Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira and headed into the back of the net, indefensible for the goalkeeper Agustín Rossi.

Interestingly, in two previous plays, Léo Ortiz 'had the upper hand' against Castillo. This is because the forward found the net on two other occasions, both disallowed for offside, and the number 3 played a crucial role in keeping the opponent out of play.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE RECOPA?

Léo Ortiz won't have much time to lament. After all, Flamengo and Lanús meet again next Thursday (26th), at Maracanã, for the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with full coverage by Coluna do Fla.

Before that, however, Flamengo takes the field for the semifinal of the Campeonato Carioca. On Sunday (22nd), the Rubro-Negro faces Madureira, starting at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Just like in the Recopa, the State Championship also follows a home-and-away system.
