After leaving the tricolor front, he took the turn but managed to tie in a penalty at the end
The first duel between Fluminense and Barcelona de Guayaquil showed what is to come next week. With a dose of emotion, the match ended in a 2-2 draw at Maracanã, in the first game of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores
Fluminense came out ahead in the first half with Gabriel Teixeira. At half-time, Barcelona came back better and Adonis Preciado tied the match. When 1-1 seemed to be the final score, the game gained excitement. Emmanuel Martinez was sent off just before the final 10 minutes. Even so, the visitors were not intimidated and went upstairs. Defender Nino fouled inside the area and the referee signaled for the penalty kick. Gabriel Cortez swung the net, in a charge almost saved by goalkeeper Marcos Felipe. In the end, forward Abel Hernández was also brought down. Fred charged perfectly. And there was no time for anything else.
The two teams face each other again next Thursday, in Guayaquil, Ecuador. It is worth remembering that, at this stage of the competition, the “away” counts and, therefore, the tricolor needs to win or draw 3-3 or more to advance in the competition. In case of a new 2 to 2, you will have a penalty shootout.
