Hector Fértoli scored Racing’s first goal within thirteen minutes of starting the match, Gabigol would retaliate less than two minutes later to make sure there will be everything to play in next Tuesday’s second-round match at El Maracano.

Although the adjustment was very active back and forth, Racing had a formidable lifeline in the 82nd minute when Matheus Thuler expelled Lisandro Lopez for a complicated challenge.
The replay gave the impression that Thuler was given the ball first before crashing into Lopez’s leg, prompting the wrath of unused replacement Natan, who was later also expelled for criticizing the decision.
Flamengo may still be outnumbered as Mauricio Isla was injured in warm-ups.
