Gabigol breaks record, but Flamengo is tied in Libertadores

O Flamengo tied with the racing this Thursday, the 4th, in a game valid for another round of the Copa Libertadores. Despite the goal scored by Gabigol in the first half, which broke the record for the greatest Brazilian goalscorer in the competition, the Rubro-Negro saw the Argentines draw in a lack of oroz.

The game did not start with much emotion in the attacking fields, as the home team expected Flamengo in their field and looked for counterattacks to scare, while the Brazilians found little space. Despite this, Racing ended up collaborating, as Hauche was expelled with two lightning yellow cards in the middle of the first stage.

With that, the red black pressure increased considerably, and the chances appeared little by little. First Pulgar he fixed the ball with his head to Gabriel, who missed it in the face kicking it out. Undeterred, in the last move before the break, the Chilean took a rehearsed free kick for the number 9 at the entrance to the area, which he did not waste, and opened the scoring.

The beginning of the second half had some pressure from Racing, who were looking to be more dangerous to avoid a defeat at home, but Mengão seemed to control the advantage well, until wesley got kicked out. In a silly tackle, the right-back hit the opponent’s shin with a sole, and took a direct red.

In the foul committed by the young defender, Oroz took the shot perfectly, and beat the goalkeeper saints to leave everything the same in the marker. After that, little happened for the score to be changed again, with the Argentines being more dangerous, but the result ended up being 1-1.
