Flamengo host Cruzeiro as Libertadores quarter-final place is on the line | OneFootball

Flamengo host Cruzeiro at the Maracanã on Wednesday 19, with a Copa Libertadores quarter-final place at stake after a 1-1 first leg.

According to Coluna Do Fla, the match will be shown on Rede Globo on pay TV, with GETV on YouTube and Paramount+ also streaming. The outlet will run live coverage on YouTube, its website and social channels.

The first leg at the Mineirão last Wednesday 12 ended 1-1. Arroyo put Cruzeiro ahead with a top-corner strike, then Paquetá equalised moments after coming on, finishing a rebound.

Flamengo come in off a 5-1 win at Mirassol on Sunday 16 at Estádio Maião in São Paulo. Leonardo Jardim is without De La Cruz and Vitão, while Alex Sandro is a calf doubt.

There is hope Bruno Henrique could be available after a heavy challenge in the first leg ruled him out against Mirassol. He is racing to be ready for Wednesday 19.

Probable XI: Rossi, Emerson Royal, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas, Pulgar, Jorginho, Arrascaeta, Plata, Samuel Lino, Bruno Henrique (Pedro). Final choices are set to be decided in training on Tuesday 11.

Cruzeiro beat Corinthians 2-1 at the Neo Química Arena on Sunday 16. Matheus Henrique is suspended for a third yellow. Goalkeepers Cássio and Léo Aragão are injured, with Luis Sinisterra and Gabriel Pec also sidelined.

There is no extra time in the Libertadores knockouts and away goals do not apply. If the tie remains level, a penalty shootout will decide the quarter-final place.
