Carrascal dealt a blow after Flamengo v Racing clash in the Libertadores | OneFootball

Carrascal kicked the ball that went into Racing’s (ARG) goal, but it was deflected on the way

Carrascal kicked the ball that hit the back of the net to give Flamengo the victory on Wednesday (22) against Racing (ARG). However, this Friday (24), Conmebol decided to credit the own goal at Maracanã to defender Marcos Rojo.

The Colombian who created the entire play once again has no goals in the competition. The shot by Carrascal was deflected by Rojo before entering Racing’s goal. The deflection was enough for the organization to change the official match report.

How did the play happen?

Flamengo had extreme difficulty reaching Racing’s goal. However, the inspired Carrascal delivered a beautiful pass to Bruno Henrique, who went one-on-one with Cambeses. The rebound came back to the playmaker, who finished with a deflected shot into the goal.

What are the consequences?

Flamengo still holds a one-goal advantage in the clash with Racing for a spot in the Libertadores final. However, Carrascal now has only one goal with the Sacred Mantle, which was against Vasco.

When do Flamengo and Racing play again?

With a one-goal advantage, Flamengo will travel to Argentina for the second leg of the semifinal against Racing, next Wednesday (29). The match will take place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at El Cilindro, in Avellaneda.

Flamengo only needs a draw to reach the Libertadores final. However, a one-goal defeat for the red-and-black side would result in penalties. Two or more goals in favor of Racing, though, would eliminate the Most Beloved.
