flamingo He almost unintentionally won. Moving the ball, opening spaces and taking advantage of the quality and opportunism of Pedro, author of three goals and top scorer in this edition of the Copa Libertadores with 11 goals. Everton Ribeiro also scored on the scoreboard.
They were sealed in the result plate but they owe a lot to Gabigol, shifty and assisting, ya Giorgian De Arrascaetathe brain of this team.
Velez For his part, he left everything. But they knew that if the rival was sharp it would be very difficult and what ended up happening would probably happen. He generally tried it for the left sector with Lucas Janson but his appearances must have ended in inoffensive centers due to the encirclement of rival defenders. Each player of Velez there were three of flamingo in all sectors of the field.
The footballers of Velez, Based on sacrifice and accumulated miles on the not-so-green grass of the José Amalfitani, they managed not to get scared. Until a millimeter center of Giorgian De Arrascaeta had the unexpected complicity of the local defense who, after a miscalculation, dropped the ball on the penalty spot, right at the feet of Pedro who with a soft touch left Pedro without reaction. Lucas Hoyos who saw how the ball slowly entered next to the right post.
At the minute of that bucket of cold water, Vélez’s only chance for a goal in the entire match came. And it came through a stopped ball. Luca Orellano He finished off a free kick very well near the area and the ball hit the left post and traveled the entire small area without any local footballer being able to push it.
To this was added a shot from outside the area by Janson, Vélez’s historic scorer in the Copa Libertadores, which forced Santos to stretch to send the ball to the corner. That’s how the first half went with a much superior Flamengo still without showing its full potential. Before halftime the Brazilians had one more ace up their sleeve to show. In a move from left to right, the ball fell to Gabigol outside the side line of the area and he with a beautiful and “simple” touch put the ball back in the penalty area so that this time it is Everton Ribeiro who enters and with the same soft touch of Pedro ten minutes ago will increase the score.
in the plugin Velez He came out determined to discount quickly but all his effort was in vain because he was unable to bring danger to the rival area. He tried it with substance due to the push of his people, but as soon as Flamengo decided to accelerate everything, it ended with another great move from left to right, a new great assist from Gabigol and another goal from Pedro, this time with a soft touch before the exit of holes.
What followed was the same that was shown from the beginning. While Velez sent its good youth to the field, Flamengo changed soccer players from different teams to replace others also selected. And nothing changed for the Brazilians, who increased the difference with another goal from Pedro.
Flamengo flowered almost unintentionally in Liniers. The result marks the distance between one squad and another but it hurts because it was noted that the Brazilians were not at their best and it was enough for them. Velez He ran a lot and tried with a lot of heart and the football that they let him do in a dribble. The blue V dream seems to have come to an abrupt end. There was no even game in Villa Luro, where two teams faced each other without equivalencies.
