Flamengo knocks out Internacional despite a shower of confetti

The Internacional was steamrolled by Flamengo and eliminated from the Copa Libertadores at the Beira-Rio Stadium in the round of 16. Moreover, due to the delay of the match because of the confetti shower, the Gaúcho club was indicted by Conmebol in four articles.

According to information from ‘Rádio Gaúcha’, Conmebol indicted Internacional on the following articles: Use of a machine in the confetti shower, delay in the start of the game, use of flares, and not offering the best space in the stadium to the sponsors of the organization itself.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT?

During the second match against Flamengo, Internacional released a shower of confetti before the ball rolled at the Beira-Rio Stadium. However, due to the excess, the pitch was covered with the material. Thus, the referee requested the cleaning of the field, and the match ended up being delayed by 20 minutes.

THE GAME

Flamengo showed no mercy to Internacional on the field, even with the confetti shower. This is because the Rubro-Negro team won 2-0, with goals from Arrascaeta and Pedro. Thus, the Most Beloved advanced to the quarterfinals to face Estudiantes (ARG).

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Now, Flamengo puts the Copa Libertadores aside and is focused on the Brazilian Championship to face another Gaúcho team. The team led by Filipe Luís faces Grêmio this Sunday (31), at 4pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 22nd round.
