فلامنگو مقابل کروزیرو

Flamengo RJ beat Cruzeiro 2-1 at the Maracanã to book their spot in the next round of the Copa Libertadores, with the home side controlling most of the night despite a scare after the break. Pedro was the architect of the win, setting up both home goals without troubling the scoresheet himself. Giorgian De Arrascaeta opened the scoring in the 34th minute, finishing off a Pedro assist. Cruzeiro hit back quickly after halftime through Lucas Romero in the 50th minute, leveling things and giving the visitors hope. But Flamengo responded within eleven minutes as Samuel Lino restored the lead in the 61st minute, again teed up by Pedro. Yellow cards were shown to Bruno Henrique, João Costa and William de Asevedo Furtado, but no red cards or penalties disrupted the flow. The win moved Flamengo through 3-2 on aggregate after a 1-1 draw in the first leg, keeping their continental ambitions alive. For Cruzeiro, it's a disappointing exit despite a spirited fightback that briefly threatened an upset in Rio de Janeiro.
