IT'S TO CELEBRATE! FLAMENGO SETS OWN AUDIENCE RECORD AT LIBERTADORES AMONG ALL BRAZILIANS IN THE COMPETITION

Racing (ARG) is facing a moment of apprehension before the decisive duel against Flamengo in the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores. On Monday night (6), the Argentine team drew 0-0 with Independiente Rivadavia, but the result was overshadowed by injuries to two important players.

In the 18th minute of the second half, striker Elías Torres , who had been used as an attacking option on the bench, twisted his knee and had to leave the field. Shortly after, starting defender Franco Pardo fell on his own and was carried off on a stretcher , crying, which increased the concern of the Argentine club's medical department.

DATES SET

The Libertadores semifinals will be played on the last two Wednesdays of October. The first match takes place on the 22nd at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) at the Maracanã stadium, with a full house expected—over 60,000 people.

The return leg will be at El Cilindro Stadium in Avellaneda, home of Racing Club , where the teams will determine who advances to the grand final of the continental competition. It's worth noting that the Argentine team had the better campaign, so they will decide the match at home.

FLAMENGO FOCUSED ON THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP

Before facing Racing , Mengão turns its attention to the Brazilian Championship. On October 15th, the team faces Botafogo at 7:30 pm at Nilton Santos Stadium in the 28th round of the competition. The match is seen as crucial to maintaining momentum and confidence heading into the continental final.

Young striker Wallace Yan, 20, will be officially warned by Flamengo's board after being sent off in the match against Bahia , held last Sunday (5). The player received two yellow cards in a period of just ten minutes , in a move considered immature and avoidable by the coaching staff.

According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the club decided not to remove the player from the main squad, but to impose an internal punishment of an educational nature . The measure aims to educate the player about the responsibility of acting with emotional balance in decisive matches.

CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COACH

The club's board intends to handle the case as part of the striker's professional development process. Coach Filipe Luís and members of the coaching staff will participate in discussions with the player, reinforcing the importance of discipline and posture on the field.

" Filipe Luís will speak with him, as will club officials. The goal is to make him understand the magnitude of the mistake and its consequences," Venê said. The expulsion came at an important time for Wallace Yan, who was trying to regain his place in the first team.

WALLACE YAN CONTINUES WITH THE GROUP

With the suspension confirmed, Wallace Yan will continue training normally with the group, but under the supervision of the coaching staff. To become a regular player again, the Flamengo forward will need to demonstrate commitment and maturity on and off the field.

In a close battle for the lead in the Brazilian Championship , Flamengo and Palmeiras will face off on October 19th at 6:30 pm at the Maracanã stadium for the 29th round of the competition. The Rio de Janeiro club released details of the schedule and ticket prices this week , which have already sparked debate among fans on social media.
