Chilean side thanks Flamengo for ‘boost’ before Vasco clash | OneFootball

Flamengo lent Audax Italiano (CHI) the Ninho do Urubu training center to prepare before the match against Vasco

Audax Italiano (CHI) and Flamengo are allies at the moment. That’s because, this Tuesday (14), the Chilean team faces Vasco in the Copa Sudamericana. As a result, Fla made its training center available for the team to prepare.

“Thank you, Flamengo. Final training session at Flamengo’s Training Center before our CONMEBOL Sudamericana clash,” read the caption accompanying photos of the squad at Ninho do Urubu.

How did Flamengo fans react?

“Just beat Vasco, that’s all,” commented one red-and-black supporter. “Let’s go, Audax, take it to Vasco. Stay strong, Audax! SRN,” said another. “You’re in the right place. Flamengo knows better than anyone how to beat our son Vasco. May that luck be passed on to you,” mocked another Flamengo fan.

Which competition is Audax facing Vasco in?

Vasco and Audax face off this Tuesday (14), starting at 9:00 PM (Brasília time), at São Januário. Therefore, the match is valid for the second round of Group G in the Copa Sudamericana.

The Rubro-Negro’s rival has only one point in the group, which is led by Olimpia (PAR) with three. So, a win for the Chilean club would knock the opponent out of the playoff qualification spot in the continental tournament.

What is Flamengo’s situation in this context?

While rivals are playing in the Copa Sudamericana, Flamengo takes on Independiente Medellín (COL) in the second round of Group A of the Libertadores. The ball starts rolling at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Thursday (16), at the Maracanã.
