Much more of an even contest in the first leg unfortunately but still an entertaining game between two top teams. It was all Flamengo in the first half they looked like they had Cruzeiro at arms length. Cruzeiro came out into the 2nd half with some fire and after Lucas Romero’s rocket it looked like we’d have a much more even battle in the last 40 minutes. However Flamengo found their first half form again and Samuel Lino’s ridiculous finish sealed the deal. A shame to see one of these 2 teams have to be eliminated so early on in the Libertadores.
