Flamengo’s defense of the Copa Libertadores name ended in the level after Brazilian giants crashed because of the consequences at the hands of Racing de Argentina.
The Rio de Janeiro team entered the second leg on Tuesday night 1-1 after the first adjustment in Buenos Aires, but the tie of the same score at Maracana led to the tie in kicks, where Racing won 5-3.
The attack went to the consequences following a last general-time draw from Willian Arao of the home team after Leonardo Sigali put Racing ahead in the 65th minute.
Flamengo has already been out of sight until the end of extra time, with Racing goalkeeper Gabriel Arias making a series of first-class stops to keep his team tied.
Arias of Chile then stopped Flamengo Arao’s scorer in the resulting penalty shootout to see Racing.
Flamengo was the protective champion after a win in 2019, in which he took the maximum in Lima from the former Champions of River Plate thanks to Gabigol’s goals in the 89th minute and in the minute of the discount.
