When is the Flamengo vs Estudiantes (ARG) match for the Libertadores?

Flamengo and Estudiantes (ARG) face each other this Thursday (18th), in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals. Before the match, Eduardo Dominguez, coach of the Argentine team, devised a tactic to try to make things uncomfortable for Mengão at Maracanã.

— We know the history that this stadium has and it’s good to face that, but it’s 11 against 11. We understand how we have to play away from home because we’ve already done that in this Copa Libertadores. It’s about understanding how the opponent works and where we want to take them: to discomfort. We have to be strong, not only physically, but also mentally, said Eduardo Dominguez.

It’s important to note that the series between Flamengo and Estudiantes will start at Maracanã. In other words, the Rubro-Negro will play with the support of the Nation this Thursday (18th), while the second leg will be in La Plata, in Argentina. This way, Mengão will have the home advantage to try to take the lead.
