In a very different development of the game from last week at the José Amalfitani, “Fortín” took advantage of a high recovery by Nicolás Garayalde and, after an assist from Lucas Janson, Lucas Pratto opened the scoring and excited the visitor at 21 minutes.
However, in an even initial stage that Flamengo failed to dominate as expected, the local team tied it at 42 with a header from Pedro, who scored a hat-trick in the first leg, to cut short the hopes of those led by the “Chief” Alexander Medina.
Already in the complement, the performance of Flamengo increased, which began to generate situations until it broke parity with a great goal from Marinho in the 23rd minute that ended up destroying Vélez’s morale.
The rest of the game was a monologue from the cast of Brazil, although it was far from showing off as in the first leg against a rival who left a better image after being beaten at home.
In this way, the champion of the Copa Libertadores will be a team from Brazil: Flamengo’s opponent in the final on October 29 in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador, will be Athletico Paranaense, who eliminated two-time champion Palmeiras in the semis with a global result of 3 to 2 (1 to 0 and 2 to 2).
