In the overall Libertadores group stage standings, the current leader is Rosario Central (ARG), with 13 points. To take over the top spot in the tournament, Flamengo need to win this Wednesday’s (20) match and also await a Conmebol decision.
See the overall group stage standings:
Currently, Mengo lead Group A with seven points. Therefore, a win over Estudiantes de La Plata (ARG) at the Maracanã would take Fla to ten. Kickoff is at 9:30 PM Brasília time, in the fifth round of the continental tournament.
The match against Independiente Medellín (COL) on the 7th of this month was canceled. However, the South American body has not yet officially awarded the win to Rubro-Negro by walkover, which would mean three points for Mengo.
A victory this Wednesday (20), plus the points from the canceled match, would leave Mengão level with Rosario on points. Therefore, the race for the best group stage campaign would go down to the final round, when Fla face Cusco (PER), while the Argentinians take on Independiente del Valle (ECU) in Ecuador.
Thus, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Estudiantes through YouTube, the website, and social media. The match broadcast, however, will be on Globo (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube), and Paramount+ (streaming).
