Flamengo Highlights

Eliminated from the Copa do Brasil in the round of 16, Flamengo is under pressure to avoid another failure this season. With one of the most expensive squads in the country, the expectation of the board and fans is to go further in the competitions. The team is leading the Brazilian Championship, but if it falls in the Libertadores, this will be the only title possibility the team will have in the second half of the year.

The 2-1 victory at Maracanã frustrated the Rubro-Negro's desire to build a larger advantage for the return match. Filipe Luis's team opened a two-goal lead early in the game and could have extended it, but failed and even allowed the Argentines to score towards the end.

Undefeated in eleven matches, Flamengo just needs to draw to advance in the Libertadores. If Estudiantes wins by a one-goal difference, the spot will be decided on penalties.

Missing in the first match, full-back Alex Sandro and midfielder Jorginho are expected to be the big news for Flamengo this Thursday. The duo has recovered from muscle problems and is available for the coach. Only two athletes did not travel to Buenos Aires on Tuesday, midfielder Pulgar and forward Michael, both due to physical issues.

By beating Defensa y Justícia in the Argentino, the team from La Plata climbed a few positions in the table and now appears in the third position of group A.
