In Argentina, Flamengo drew 1-1 with Estudiantes this Wednesday (29), in the third round of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores group stage.
Highlights coming shortly
Like a “proper” Brazil vs. Argentina clash, the match in La Plata was more fought than played, effectively.
With greater technical quality, the Rubro-Negro had no trouble neutralizing the hosts’ early momentum and soon began to control possession more.
Arrascaeta worried the fans when he landed awkwardly and had to be substituted, going straight to the hospital.
With the ball rolling, Flamengo threatened with a cross-shot from Samuel Lino.
Right after that, Bruno Henrique broke free down the left and set up Luiz Araújo, with no goalkeeper to beat, to open the scoring.
After the break, even with Muslera pulling off a miracle save, Estudiantes found the equalizer on the very next play.
Amid a lot of chaos in the six-yard box, Carrillo made it all square.
The match, which featured heavy challenges throughout, reached its peak when Emerson Royal was brought down in the box appealing for a penalty.
In the ensuing chaos, with managers Leonardo Jardim and Alexander Medina invading the pitch, both coaches were shown red cards.
