پلاتنسه مقابل فلومینسه

Platense gave everything for the miracle at Vicente López, beating Fluminense 2-1 on the night but falling just short of a historic upset in their Copa Libertadores debut campaign. The Argentine side needed a three-goal winning margin to advance outright, and while they came agonizingly close, it wasn't enough to overturn the tie. Guido Mainero put the hosts ahead in the 29th minute, and Bruno Sepúlveda doubled the lead deep into first-half stoppage time to send the home crowd into raptures. But Fluminense struck back through Agustín Canobbio, freshly returned from suspension, whose away goal proved decisive in the tie. The result meant Platense's remarkable run in their maiden Libertadores campaign ended in the quarterfinals, having also needed penalties to get past Coquimbo Unido earlier in the competition. Fluminense, despite the defeat, advanced 3-2 on aggregate and now await the winner of Palmeiras and LDU in the semifinals.
