Today’s results: Vasco in historic Sula humiliation, Flamengo group shifts | OneFootball

Conmebol competitions livened up Tuesday night (14)

Football on the continent remains exciting! This Tuesday (14), a few upsets took place, especially in Brazil. Vasco lost at home to Audax Italiano (CHI) at São Januário; Santos struggled against Deportivo Recoleta’s reserve team (PAR) at Vila Belmiro, both in the Copa Sudamericana. Meanwhile, in the Libertadores, Estudiantes moved to the top of Flamengo’s group.

WHAT WERE TODAY’S LIBERTADORES RESULTS?

WHAT WERE THE BRAZILIAN TEAMS’ RESULTS IN THE SUDAMERICANA?

In the Libertadores, Estudiantes suffered more than expected but beat Cusco 2-1 in Argentina. The team now has four points, one more than Flamengo. However, the Rubro-Negro can reclaim the top spot on Thursday (16) against Independiente Medellín (COL).

Also in this round of the Libertadores, the highlight was Boca’s 3-0 home win over Barcelona de Guayaquil, taking them to six points in Cruzeiro’s group. In Fluminense’s group, a good result for the rival: a 1-1 draw between Bolívar and La Guaira.

In Palmeiras’ group, Cerro beat Junior Barranquilla and moved to three points. Abel Ferreira’s team plays this round against Sporting Cristal (PER), managed by Zé Ricardo and featuring Felipe Vizeu, a former Flamengo player. If the Brazilian side fails to win, it will end the second round of the Libertadores outside the qualification zone.

WHAT ABOUT THE SUDAMERICANA?

Among the Brazilian teams, those that avoided embarrassment only just managed to do so in the Sudamericana. São Paulo did beat O’Higgins 2-0, but they were still booed by the fans at Morumbi. Grêmio had to work hard for a 1-0 win over Riestra in Porto Alegre, with Francis Amuzu scoring in the 42nd minute of the second half.

If the upset came close at Morumbi and in Porto Alegre, it actually happened at São Januário and Vila Belmiro. Vasco lost 2-1 to Audax Italiano. Santos, meanwhile, could only draw with Paraguayan side Recoleta’s reserve team, even with Neymar scoring after a Gabigol assist to open the scoring.

SO WHEN DO FLAMENGO PLAY, AFTER ALL?

Flamengo only take the field next Thursday (16), starting at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), against Independiente Medellín (COL), in the second round of Group A of the Copa Libertadores da América. Coluna do Fla, of course, will provide full coverage of the match.
