“America's bogey team”: Argentine press on Flamengo draw with Estudiantes | OneFootball

Argentine newspapers highlight Estudiantes’ (ARG) “victory” in drawing with Flamengo

Drawing at home is usually not a good result, unless the visiting team is Flamengo. That is how the Argentine press treated the 1-1 draw, as a kind of triumph for Estudiantes (ARG) against the Rubro-Negro, considered a bogeyman.

Argentina’s newspapers, however, also made room to cover Arrascaeta’s injury. That is because the star broke his collarbone during the third round of Group A of the Libertadores. As a result, the outlets fear for the future of the Rubro-Negro idol in the World Cup.

What did the newspaper Olé say about Flamengo?

“Luiz Araújo finished unmarked after a brilliant play by Bruno Henrique (…) Flamengo relaxed in the final minutes, and Estudiantes could have secured the win if not for a brilliant performance by Agustín Rossi,” highlighted an Olé report.

Did any other outlet praise Flamengo’s Rossi?

“The Argentine goalkeeper was decisive, making two important saves in the closing stretch of the match, when Estudiantes were pushing for the comeback at Estadio UNO,” said an excerpt from the text published by Infobae (Internet).

And what did they say about Arrascaeta’s injury?

“The injury happened in La Plata and cast doubt on the midfielder’s participation in the tournament. Under Marcelo Bielsa, the player has scored three goals in 17 matches, a record that shows his offensive importance to the national team,” analyzed a report by Radio Mitre (Radio).

And why is drawing with Flamengo a victory?

“Facing the Libertadores champion, South America’s bogeyman. If one point at home seemed appealing beforehand, it became even more so after Estudiantes fell behind on their own turf,” stated another excerpt from the Olé report.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

America’s “bogeyman” faces Vasco on Sunday (03). The ball starts rolling at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in a match valid for the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship.
