On Friday night (15), Flamengo suffered its first defeat in the Champions League Americas. Rubro Negro was defeated by Boca Juniors in front of their fans in the middle of Maracanãzinho, with a score of 80 to 62, after a disastrous second half.
The Mais Querido disappointed the fans. Even with the terrible offensive performance and without being able to stop Boca Juniors' big game, Rubro Negro had a good first half, won the first quarter by 22x19, lost the second by 19x18, and went to the break winning by 40x38.
However, the second half was terrible for Flamengo. This is because, without taking advantage of the perimeter, Rubro Negro scored just 10 points in the third quarter, conceded 18, and went into the last period losing by just six points.
Flamengo continued without meeting in the last period and was run over by Boca Juniors. The Argentines opened a big lead right away, and with five minutes to go, Boca Juniors were already winning the period 14-6. The visiting team knew how to manage the score, got 18 points ahead, and won very calmly.
Therefore, Rubro Negro ends the first round at the bottom of the group. This is because, despite having one victory and one defeat, like the other two teams (Hebraica Macabi and Boca Juniors), Mais Querido is in last place due to the smaller balance.
