Everton Ribeiro misses crucial penalty, Bahia out of the Libertadores | OneFootball

Bahia was defeated in the penalty shootout

Bahia, with Everton Ribeiro and Rogério Ceni, is out of the Libertadores. This Wednesday (25), the team from Salvador even won against O’Higgins (CHI) by 2-1, but since they lost 1-0 in the first leg, the match went to penalties. In the final shot, the midfielder, idol of Flamengo, missed.

The match was part of the second preliminary phase of the Libertadores of America. In regular time, Bahia managed to overturn the disadvantage with two goals by Willian José in the first half. However, in the second half, O’Higgins leveled the aggregate score with Arnaldo Castillo.

Therefore, the contest went to penalties. O’Higgins missed the second shot with Arnaldo Catillho. But Bahia was stopped by goalkeeper Carabalí on the third shot, with the youngster Dell, and on the last one, precisely with the idol of Flamengo, Everton Ribeiro. The red-black legend hit weakly, in the middle, making the save easier.

WILL BAHIA PLAY ANY INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION?

With the elimination in the second phase of the pre-Libertadores, Bahia will not even have the right to play in the Copa Sudamericana. Therefore, a hard blow to the aspirations and finances of the Salvador club, which is managed by the City Group. On the other hand, O’Higgins is one 'step' away from the group stage of the Libertadores.

This is because the Chileans will face Deportivo Táchira (VEN) or Deportes Tolima (COL), who face each other this Thursday (26). In the first leg, the Colombians won away by 1-0 and can even draw as hosts to face O’Higgins.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY IN THE LIBERTADORES?

Without needing preliminary phases, Flamengo debuts in the Libertadores in April. Before that, the Most Beloved will know its opponents on March 19, when Conmebol holds the draw for the groups at 8 PM (Brasília time), in Luque, Paraguay.
