The situation is worrying, as these athletes are key pieces in the team's structure.


Guillermo Varela, who had been playing regularly at right-back, felt discomfort during the match.

His possible absence would not only weaken the defensive sector, but would also represent a significant loss in the conduct of the game from the defense, one of its main characteristics.

It’s always good to win away from home , especially in a competition like the Libertadores. I’m very happy with the goal, but even happier with the victory and the three points,” celebrated the striker after the match. “Without a doubt, this strengthens and gives confidence to the group , even though we were already very confident,” he added.


FLAMENGO FACES DIFFICULTIES

The team led by Filipe Luís had a slow start to the game, with difficulties in the midfield and a lack of offensive objectivity. The opponent, despite being technically limited, managed to neutralize the Mais Querido in the first half. Luiz Araújo had the best chance, but wasted it in front of goalkeeper Jesús Camargo. Even without suffering any major risks, Flamengo produced little in the first 45 minutes.


In the second half, the attitude changed. Juninho came on with energy and, in the 12th minute, after a pass from Bruno Henrique, he chested the ball into the back of the net, securing the victory. Deportivo Táchira even tried to react in injury time , but were thwarted by a lack of technique and good saves by Rossi . The goal put Mengão in the lead of the group.

It's finally here! That's because Flamengo finally made its debut in the Copa Libertadores da América , ending the anxiety of the red-and-black fans. For the party to be complete, they only need a victory over Táchira, away from home, in Venezuela. In this sense, Filipe Luís's team achieved their objective, winning the game 1-0 (goal by Juninho) and with the draw between LDU and Córdoba earlier, the team from Gávea also "won" the leadership of its group.


SUMMARY


The first 45 minutes between Táchira and Flamengo were very weak. The game had very few shots on goal or real chances (3 to 1 for the team from Rio). Flamengo had more possession of the ball (61% to 39%), but Táchira pressed forward and caused some scares, mainly in plays generated by Flamengo's mistakes, such as passing errors.


Flamengo's best chance of the game came in the 26th minute. Luiz Araújo received a deep pass from Michael and shot weakly with his right foot, straight at the goalkeeper. Filipe Luís' team felt the lack of greater creative potential in the first half.

In the second half, the red-black team came back a little better, but the creation (the famous last pass) left something to be desired , while the home team looked for a red-black mistake to try something. However, those who try hard are rewarded and that was the case for Flamengo.


At 12 minutes, Juninho came on and with his first touch scored the goal for Flamengo. Alex Sandro passed the ball to Everton Cebolinha, who crossed from the left, Bruno Henrique deflected it to the far post, and Juninho opened the scoring. In the end, the home team gave the red-and-black defense two scares, but was stopped by the Venezuelan team's lack of accuracy and the score remained the same until the final whistle.


AND NOW?

With this result, Flamengo leads group C of the Libertadores with 3 points, two more than Central Córdoba and LDU who have one and Téchira with zero. Now, the red-and-black team is preparing to turn the key to the Brasileirão. This is because it faces Vitóra, at Barradão, next Sunday, at 6:30 pm.
