Flamengo defeated 2-1 to Central Córdoba in the second round of the 2025 Conmebol Libertadores group stage at the Maracanã on Wednesday (9).
This is the Argentine club's first victory in the continent's premier club tournament.
Playing at home and with a much higher-quality team, the Rubro-Negro started better and created chances, such as Bruno Henrique's (9') finish that was stopped by Aguerre.
However, the Argentine team, which was making its Libertadores debut, was terrified in counter-attacks.
During an attack, Florentín attempted to dribble Léo Pereira, but the latter grabbed the ball inside the area.
Heredia (23') took the penalty after displacing Rossi and scored for Central Córdoba.
This was the Argentine team's first Libertadores goal.
Flamengo controlled the ball with difficulty in the creative sector, but did not pose a significant threat.
To make matters worse, toward the end of the first half, Cufré took a foul in the area, and Florentín appeared to head strong and boost Central Córdoba's chances.
For the first time in 2025, the Rubro-Negro suffered more than one goal with his main team. Previously, the team played with reserves or base athletes.
Flamengo regained pace after the break and decreased, with De la Cruz committing a superb foul in the corner!
Flamengo pressed until the dying seconds, and Bruno Henrique hit the post in the extras!
Flamengo suffered only their second defeat under coach Filipe Luís. The other was to Fluminense for the 2024 Brasileirão.
