Flamengo hosts Independiente del Valle at the Maracanã this Thursday (17) in pursuit of a spot in the Libertadores semifinals. Follow all the action from the deciding match.
The atmosphere at the Maracanã promises to be one of pure tension and anticipation this Thursday (17). Flamengo takes the pitch at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) to face Independiente del Valle in the second leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals. With the advantage earned in Ecuador, the Rio de Janeiro club is just one step away from securing its place among the tournament’s final four.
For fans who don’t want to miss a single detail, the M360 Team highlights that the most comprehensive coverage is available via the live broadcast on the Coluna do Fla channel. Featuring a crew reporting directly from the stadium, the sports broadcast will provide exclusive information, tactical analysis, and constant interaction with fans via the live chat.
The qualification scenario
After winning the first leg 2-0 in Quito, with goals from Bruno Henrique and Léo Pereira, the Rubro-Negro heads into the second leg with a comfortable cushion. The squad led by Leonardo Jardim can afford to lose by a one-goal margin and still secure their place in the semifinals.
If Independiente del Valle manages to replicate the two-goal margin, the outcome will be decided by a penalty shootout. The pressure is on the Ecuadorians, especially with Flamengo backed by the massive support of their home crowd.
Broadcast options
In addition to the specialized live coverage, fans can follow the match through official television and streaming channels. The game will be broadcast on ESPN (cable) and the Disney+ Premium platform.
Confirmed lineups
Flamengo is set to start with: Rossi; Emerson Royal, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, and Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar, Jorginho, and Lucas Paquetá; Carrascal, Samuel Lino, and Bruno Henrique.
On the other side, manager Joaquín Papa opts for the following Del Valle formation: Aldair Quintana; Daykol Romero, Mateo Carabajal, Richard Schunke, and Layan Loor; Jordy Alcívar, Hugo Quintana, and Júnior Sornoza; Matias Perelló, Emerson Pata, and Djorkaeff Reasco.
The path to glory
“The squad is focused on the main goal, which is the continental title, but we know that every game in the Libertadores requires maximum concentration and respect for the opponent,” highlights the M360 Team regarding the club’s current form.
If they secure the spot, Flamengo already knows their next challenge. The semifinal opponent will be Estudiantes, from Argentina, who recently eliminated Corinthians. The matches for this next round are scheduled for the weeks of October 14 and 21, maintaining an intense calendar for the final stretch of the season.
