Millonarios needed two miracles to reach the Copa Sudamericana playoffs. The first, a victory for Bolívar as a visitor against Flamengo in Brazil. And then, a blue triumph at the Maracaná next week.
The last mathematical option of Alberto Gamero’s team, after the failure and failure in the Copa Libertadores, was over in just 56 seconds. That’s how long it took for Flamengo to take the lead this Wednesday, the initial installment of a victory that leaves him depending on himself to reach the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores.
The first minute of the match had not been completed when Flamengo scored the goal that sentenced Millonarios. Gerson scored the first goal after an extraordinary play by Everton.
A terrible clearance by Renzo Orihuela was taken advantage of by Ayrton Lucas to increase the advantage of those led by Tite, 38 minutes into the first stage.
Before the end of the first half, Flamengo already turned the game into a rout. Pedro left Everton in front of the goal to make it 3-0, in the 43rd minute.
After having assisted on the third goal, Pedro scored Flamengo’s fourth goal, at 11 in the second stage, this time, after a clearance from Gerson.
The win put Flamengo into the qualification zone for the round of 16 of the Libertadores. Although the leader is still Bolívar, with 10 points, Flamengo now has seven points and a wide goal difference (+4) to surpass Palestino, which has the same points, but -3. The Chilean club has already secured at least the possibility of playing in the Sudamericana playoffs. Millonarios is last, with three units.
On the last day, on Tuesday, Flamengo will host Millonarios at the Maracaná and Bolívar will be home in La Paz, against Palestino.
