Bruno Henrique shines and is crowned ‘Fan’s Player of the Match’ after Flamengo’s triumph in the Copa Libertadores.
Flamengo supporters showed their appreciation for Bruno Henrique, voting the forward as the ‘Fan’s Player of the Match’ in a popular poll held on the club’s social media channels. The recognition follows the Rubro-Negro’s crucial 2-0 victory over Independiente del Valle (ECU) in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals.
Standing out at high altitude
Bruno Henrique was a key player in the match held at the challenging altitude of Quito, Ecuador, at 2,850 meters. The number 27 was responsible for opening the scoring, a goal that shifted the momentum of the game. In the poll conducted by the club, he received an impressive 63.8% of the votes, surpassing teammates such as Ayrton Lucas (23.1%), Samuel Lino (8.3%), and Léo Pereira (4.8%).
A solid lead
The match, which proved to be a test of endurance for the Rio-based team—especially in the first half with the Ecuadorian side applying pressure—saw Flamengo demonstrate resilience. In the second half, their technical quality prevailed with goals from Bruno Henrique and Léo Pereira, securing a significant lead for the return leg.
With this positive result, Flamengo is well-positioned to advance. The team can even afford to lose by a one-goal margin in the rematch, scheduled for September 17 at the Maracanã, and still move on to the Libertadores semifinals. Before then, the focus shifts to the Brazilian Serie A, with the classic match against Corinthians this Sunday (13).
The selection of Bruno Henrique as the fans’ favorite reinforces the player’s impact in decisive moments, especially in continental competitions. The M360 team congratulates the athlete on the recognition. M360 Team
