Flamengo grinds out a 0-0 draw at Estudiantes in the Copa Libertadores semifinal
By The Associated Press
BUENOS AIRES (AP) --- Reigning champions Flamengo secured a valuable 0--0 draw
away against Estudiantes de La Plata on Thursday in the first leg of their Copa
Libertadores semifinal.
Nicknamed "Mengao," the Brazilian side is aiming to become the first
back-to-back Copa Libertadores champions since Palmeiras accomplished the feat
in 2020--21.
The deciding second leg will be hosted at the iconic Maracana Stadium in Rio de
Janeiro on Oct. 22.
Brazilian clubs continue to assert their dominance in the competition, having
claimed the title for each of the past seven years.
Estudiantes de La Plata, meanwhile, is seeking to break that streak and become
the first non-Brazilian team to lift the trophy since Argentina's River Plate
in 2018.
In the other semifinal, Palmeiras secured a 2--1 first-leg lead over Fluminense
on Wednesday.
The Copa Libertadores final is scheduled for Nov. 28 at the Centenario Stadium
in Montevideo, Uruguay.
