Flamengo began its preparations for the clash against Peñarol, in the return of the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores. The match is scheduled to take place at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium, in Montevideo, Uruguay, and promises to be a closely contested duel. Mengão, in turn, decided to adopt a different strategy for this trip.
Traditionally, Mais Querido travels to away games one day before the match. However, for the clash with Peñarol, scheduled for Thursday (26), the club's board opted to advance the schedule, scheduling the match for Tuesday (24). With this, Rubro-Negro will arrive in the Uruguayan capital two days in advance of the decisive duel.
It is important to highlight that, this season, Flamengo had already adopted a similar measure, traveling two days before for a game in Bolivia against Bolívar. This decision was made due to the altitude conditions of La Paz, which is more than 3,600 meters high. However, the same kind of concern is not necessary in Montevideo.
After a 1-0 defeat in the first leg, Flamengo has a challenge ahead: they need to beat Peñarol by a difference of two goals to guarantee qualification to the Libertadores semi-finals. If the victory is only by one goal, the place will be decided by penalty kicks.
The clash between Flamengo and Peñarol is scheduled for 7pm (Brasília time) this Thursday (26), in Uruguay. With a scenario of expectation, fans hope that Mengão will show its strength and be able to advance in the continental competition.
