🚨 Carrascal shines as Flamengo edge Racing in Copa Lib semi-final | OneFootball

Flamengo defeated Racing in the first leg of the Libertadores semi-finals this Wednesday.

Jorge Carrascal put the Rubro-Negro ahead with a goal in the final stretch of the match.

The return match of the confrontation takes place next Wednesday at 9:30 PM in Avellaneda, Argentina.

The Game

As expected, Flamengo dominated in terms of ball possession and was the most present in the offensive sector.

Carrascal and Arrascaeta, in particular, featured in most of the Rubro-Negro's dangerous plays.

But it was Pedro who forced the best save from goalkeeper Cambeses in the first half.

It was Rossi who made the first great save of the match, showing quick reflexes after the ball was deflected at the near post in a corner play.

Despite the scares, the Argentine team managed to cool the atmosphere of the match at times. Racing also relied on an inspired performance from Cambeses, who made great saves.

Samuel Lino only came onto the field in the second half and even found the net in the final stretch, but the goal was disallowed for offside. But there was still time for Carrascal to delight the fans at Maracanã.

He started the goal play with a beautiful pass to Bruno Henrique, who was stopped by Cambeses.

The ball fell to the Colombian to finish, and the deflected ball slowly found its way to the back of the net.
