INTERNATIONAL CANNOT REACT

Despite the support of more than 43,000 fans at Beira-Rio, Colorado failed to convert its crowd into offensive effectiveness. Roger Machado's changes barely changed the game's complexion. Enner Valencia and Ricardo Mathias had chances but were unable to overcome the red-and-black defense.


FLAMENGO SHOWS MATURITY
