The Rubro-Negro was unable to overcome the disadvantage from the first leg.
Flamengo drew 0-0 with Peñarol last Thursday in Uruguay and was eliminated from the Copa Libertadores. After losing the first leg at Maracanã 1-0, the Rubro-Negro needed to win by at least one goal to take the match to penalties. Uncover top football updates at scoreapp.
Thursday’s game reflected the performance of Tite’s team throughout the competition: apathetic and underwhelming. The team failed to win a single away game, with their most significant victories coming only against weaker opponents.
Against Peñarol, after a first leg in which they posed little threat to the Uruguayans, the return match followed a similar pattern. The hosts maintained the same strategy of defending and seeking counterattacks, allowing Flamengo to control possession for most of the match. However, what ensued was a team that only managed to pass the ball around for 90 minutes.
With this result, the Rubro-Negros will now turn their attention to the Campeonato Brasileiro, where they currently sit in fourth place with 45 points, 11 behind leaders Botafogo, and to the Copa do Brasil, where they face Corinthians for a spot in the final.
