Summary
Peñarol started well and Peñarol soon showed that they would play on the red and black error. Therefore, the Uruguayans opened the scoring after 12 minutes, with Cabrera, in a counterattack. Soon after, Flamengo responded with Plata's header hitting the post. But the red and black team had difficulty creating chances. In the final stretch of the first half, Flamengo grew and had great opportunities to draw. Bruno Henrique, alone, headed over goalkeeper Aguerre, who also made a great save from Arrascaeta's shot.
In the second half, Flamengo came back even better, but came up against the strong Uruguayan marking and the lack of creativity to reach the opponent's goal. Tite moved the flanks, which gave Flamengo more speed, however, it had little effect due to a terrible night from Arrascaeta and De la Cruz.
What now?
With the result, Flamengo will need to win by at least two goals to guarantee one of the places in the Libertadores semi-finals. The match takes place in Uruguay, next Thursday. However, Fla needs to turn the key, because there is a Brazilian Championship game to play on the weekend. Tite's men face Grêmio, away from home, next Sunday, at 6:30 pm;

Last Wednesday (18), representatives from Flamengo and Caixa Econômica Federal held another meeting to resolve the impasse surrounding the Gasologista land, acquired by the club in July. The meeting had the support of Rio de Janeiro City Hall and the Attorney General's Office (AGU), and a new meeting scheduled for next week, in Brasília, could seal the definitive agreement. The information was released by journalist Diogo Dantas, from the newspaper "O Globo".
Mengão's board of directors, represented by president Rodolfo Landim, vice-general Rodrigo Dunshee, CEO Reinaldo Belotti and vice-president of equity Marcos Bodin, was optimistic about the possibility of a solution soon. Caixa questions the amount paid by the club at the land auction, but everything indicates that an additional amount could resolve the legal conflict by next month.
The meeting was also attended by deputy Pedro Paulo and the club's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, who have acted as intermediaries between the club and the mayor from Rio, Eduardo Paes. In August, a meeting involving the bank's president, Carlos Vieira, president Lula and mayor Eduardo Paes had already signaled the path to an agreement.
Mais Querido's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, highlighted that the agreement is the ideal way to give peace of mind to the club. "For the club, a good agreement is always better than an eternal discussion about values. The land has already been expropriated. The agreement is ideal to eliminate any doubts and for Flamengo to have the necessary peace of mind to begin the work", said Cotta.

Flamengo fans are mobilizing on social media to apologize to Wesley, the team's right-back. The player, who has recently been fundamental for the team in a period of many absences, had another good performance in the victory against Atlético-MG, last Wednesday (3). Wesley, who faced a lot of criticism at the beginning of his career, took over the starting job due to Varela's call-up for the Copa América.
FLAMENGO EXPERIENCES A NEW LINE OF ACTION WITH WESLEY
However, his performances in field exceeded expectations, earning the respect and admiration of fans. With the game against Atlético-MG, he completed seven consecutive matches as a starter, showing defensive consistency and active participation in the attack. In the game in question, Flamengo built an excellent play in midfield with quick and precise passes. Luiz Araújo, in a deep play, he seemed to be directing the ball towards Gustavo Scarpa.
However, Wesley, with his speed and intelligence, anticipated the marker and entered the area with the ball dominated. Although the left leg shot wasn't perfect, it deflected off the post and found Carlinhos free to score. The goal was special not only for Carlinhos, who scored for the first time wearing a Flamengo shirt, but also for Wesley. The hug between Wesley and Gerson right after the goal was a moment of celebration and recognition for the young full-back's effort and evolution.
