Flamengo take the field this Wednesday (20) to face Estudiantes (ARG) in the fifth round of the Libertadores. Looking to ‘stamp’ their place at the top of Group A, the Rubro-Negro hope to rely on their unbeaten record against the Argentine side at the Maracanã.
That is because, throughout history, Flamengo and Estudiantes have played five matches at the Maracanã. In that span, the Rubro-Negro have two wins, in addition to two draws. Thus, Mengão hope to secure another victory this Wednesday (20).
1988 | Flamengo 3 x 0 Estudiantes – Supercopa Libertadores 1991 | Flamengo 1 x 1 Estudiantes – Supercopa Libertadores 1992 | Flamengo 1 x 0 Estudiantes – Supercopa Libertadores 1994 | Flamengo 0 x 0 Estudiantes – Supercopa Libertadores 2025 | Flamengo 2 x 1 Estudiantes – Libertadores
The 1-1 draw between Flamengo and Estudiantes, in the third round of the Libertadores, was marked by refereeing controversies. That is because Mengão were upset with referee Piero Maza over two incidents.
In the first half, Farías scissored Emerson Royal, but the referee only showed a yellow card. Then in the second half, already booked, Palacios went in with his studs on Bruno Henrique and was not sent off by Piero Maza.
It is worth noting that Flamengo have one confirmed absence for this Wednesday’s (20) match. Arrascaeta is still undergoing post-surgery treatment after suffering a fracture to his right collarbone. On the other hand, the Medical Department will still assess the situations of Gonzalo Plata and Erick Pulgar, who were recovering from a knee knock and a shoulder injury, respectively.
The clash between Flamengo and Estudiantes takes place this Wednesday (20), in the fifth round of the Libertadores group stage. Therefore, the ball starts rolling at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Maracanã.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Estudiantes through YouTube, the website and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube) and Paramount+ (streaming) will broadcast the Libertadores match.
