Flamengo secured an important victory in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Conmebol Libertadores by beating Bolívar 2-0, in a game held at Maracanã. With the result, the Rio team enters with a significant advantage for the second leg, which will be played in La Paz.
Scorer of one of the red-black goals this Thursday (15), the defender Léo Pereira is very close to a historic milestone for Flamengo. The game against Bolívar was the defender's 199th game with the Mengo shirt. With this, Léo is one game away from completing 200 games for the Gávea club.
Léo Pereira is having a great season. The 28-year-old defender is a constant starter under coach Tite and has put together good performances. In 2024, the title of “top scorer defender” comes to describe the player’s story well. Léo has already scored 4 goals, equaling 2023 as the season that most inflamed opponents' nets for Flamengo. The player needs two more goals to equal the best score of his career, 6, in 2018, when he was still playing for Athletico-PR.
The player also showed the ability to play in different positions on the field. During the Copa América, when Flamengo was very lacking, Tite played Léo Pereira as a left back in some matches.
Léo Pereira's 200th game could come this Sunday (18th), when Flamengo will take the field to face Botafogo in the 23rd round of the Brasileirão at 6:30 pm (Brasília time) on Engineering. The red and black team is in third place with 41 points, two behind the black and white team who leads the competition.
