Now, in the next stage of the tournament, Gávea’s red-black will measure forces with Estudiantes (Argentina), who passed through Cerro Porteño (Paraguay) in the round of 16.
Black domain
Even in front of a colorado that had great support from its fans, Flamengo was superior since the first minutes of the confrontation. For this, the team led by Filipe Luís chose to try to maintain possession of the ball. At times the Gávea team retreated the lines to try to attract the Inter and open spaces to make releases to a very fast attack trio formed by Samuel Lino, Plata and Bruno Henrique.
The bet was right, because Roger Machado’s team has little touched the ball before the break and no danger led to goalkeeper Rossi. And the main sign that the red-black posture was correct was Arrascaeta’s goal. At 26 minutes Samuel Lino got rid of the marking and hit the partial defense of goalkeeper Rochet, Plata took the rebound to touch the Uruguayan midfielder, who hit the first to open the marker.

After the break, coach Roger Machado put more players head on, but this option caused the Internacional to get lost once and for all in the match, as it was unable to articulate actions in the midfield, where Flamengo was left.
And 42 minutes from the final stage the center forward Pedro sacrament the classification, when he took advantage of the cross ball in the area to just divert to the background of the goal defended by goalkeeper Uruguayan Rochet.
