Flamengo holds a significant advantage heading into the second leg of their Copa Libertadores quarter-final clash against Independiente Del Valle, with even a one-goal defeat enough to see them through to the next round.
After securing a 2-0 victory in the first leg in Quito, Ecuador, Flamengo will host the decisive return match this Thursday, September 17th. The Brazilian side is in a strong position to advance, needing only to avoid a heavy defeat at home.
However, manager Leonardo Jardim will be without two key players for the crucial encounter. Midfielder Evertton Araújo and defender Léo Pereira are both sidelined with injuries and will not be available for selection.
Independiente Del Valle faces the daunting task of overturning the two-goal deficit at the legendary Maracanã stadium. A 2-0 win for the visitors would take the tie to a penalty shootout. Their challenge is compounded by their own injury concerns, as coach Joaquin Papa will be missing both Arroyo and Cazares, who are in the medical department.
