And the film repeats itself for Flamengo in Libertadores. After a 2023 where the club was eliminated by Olímpia and then Fluminense passed without any fear, everything leads us to believe that in 2024, it will be the same thing, but with other characters: Peñarol and Botafogo.
The Alvinegro showed superiority this Wednesday night at Nilton Santos to build a historic 5-0 victory over Peñarol, in the first game of the Libertadores semi-final. Victory that leaves Alvinegro very close to a place in the tournament's big decision. Highlighting the great performance of Luiz Henrique, who managed to disarm the Uruguayan defense, and Savarino, scorer of two goals.
Retranca only worked for a while
This Wednesday (23), Peñarol used and abused the wax in In the first half, he managed to irritate Botafogo players and fans, and took the 0-0 score to the changing rooms. However, upon returning to the field, the Rio team came out on top with extreme ease. In the sixth minute, Venezuelan Jefferson Savarino received a pass 'cutting the defense' from Luiz Henrique and hit goalkeeper Aguerre. Soon after, at ten, after a corner kick and confusion in the area, Alexander Barboza sent it into the back of the net.

Later, in the 14th minute, it was Vitinho's turn to reach the bottom and assist Savarino to extend the score. After the goal, the Botafogo fan started shouting “olé” at each pass change and asking for “one more”, but two more came. When the clock hit 29', Luiz Henrique appeared face to face with the goalkeeper and played for cover. There was still time for Igor Jesus to score the fifth, at 34', with a header.
Another Brazilian final?
So, next week, the second leg of the World Cup semi-finals will take place from Brazil. In Buenos Aires, River Plate (ARG) will try to reverse the 3-0 that Atlético-MG won at MRV Arena, on Tuesday (29). At the Campeón del Siglo, on Wednesday (30), Peñarol and Botafogo meet again.

Flamengo said goodbye to the Women's Copa do Brasil this Wednesday (17), after a 1-0 defeat to São Paulo, in the quarterfinals of the tournament. After the final whistle, striker Cristiane spoke out and made harsh criticisms of the refereeing.
Flamengo's Cristiane, after elimination from the Copa do Brasil: "It was biased refereeing"
"Everyone saw today's match , no need to even talk about it. The refereeing was biased, and it also went wrong in São Paulo's favor. But when the refereeing ends up deciding the match, it gets complicated . I don't know the choices made for a game as big as this, Flamengo vs. São Paulo," the player declared.
She continued: " Unfortunately, today had a big impact on us . We've made significant progress compared to the beginning of the year, that's clear. But when the refereeing has a direct impact, it gets difficult," Cristiane concluded.
The first half of the derby was evenly matched. São Paulo started better, but after 20 minutes, Flamengo began to control possession. Even so, neither team managed to score before halftime . In the second half, the São Paulo team came back with more intensity and capitalized on a defensive lapse. Duda Serrana appeared unmarked to score the winning goal and secure the tricolor's place in the semifinals.
After being eliminated from the Copa do Brasil, the Meninas da Gávea return to the field this Saturday (20), for their debut in the Campeonato Carioca, against Búzios, at 3 pm (Brasília time).
