Libertadores: team with 2 ex-Flamengo players oust ‘almost Brazilian’ side | OneFootball

Three Matches Shook Up the Libertadores Round This Tuesday (24)

The first three teams qualified for the third phase of the Pre-Libertadores have been decided! This Tuesday (24), Carabobo (VEN), Independiente Medellín (COL), and Sporting Cristal (PER) advanced. The latter, which features Paulo Autuori and Felipe Vizeu, a product of Flamengo, as striker, eliminated Paraguayan side 2 de Mayo, which is ‘almost Brazilian’, since it is just one kilometer from Mato Grosso do Sul.

WHAT WERE THE LIBERTADORES RESULTS TODAY?

After winning at home 1-0, Carabobo secured their qualification by beating Huachipato again, this time 2-1. In the next round, the Venezuelans will face Sporting Cristal, with a spot in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores da América at stake.

The Peruvians had a tough time. After a draw in Pedro Juan Caballero, on the border with Ponta Porã-MS, Sporting Cristal and 2 de Mayo ended in a tie again in Peru. That meant the match went to penalties. Then, the team of Felipe Vizeu (substituted in the second half) and coach Paulo Autuori, both former Flamengo members, came out on top and continued in the competition.

Finally, Independiente Medellín held a 0-0 draw at home against Uruguayan side Liverpool, after winning away, and remain in the competition. The Colombians will face Guaraní (PAR) or Juventud (URU), who play on Thursday (26).

WHEN DO BAHIA AND BOTAFOGO PLAY?

Bahia and Botafogo will decide their fate in the Pre-Libertadores this Wednesday (25). In Salvador, Everton Ribeiro’s team will try to overturn the 1-0 away defeat to O’Higgins (CHI). Meanwhile, the Rio side will face Nacional Potosí (BOL) at Engenhão, also after suffering a 1-0 defeat as visitors.
