📋 Fluminense named for the Libertadores quarter-final second leg

📋 Fluminense named for the Libertadores quarter-final second leg It’s time! Fluminense’s lineup is set for the second leg of the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals. Coming up shortly, from 7pm Brasília time, the Tricolor take on Platense in Buenos Aires. The match will be played at the Ciudad de Vicente López Stadium.  Chilean referee Cristian Garay will officiate.  ESPN and Disney+ will broadcast the match.  Tie situation 🆚 After winning 2-0 at the Maracanã, Flu go into the match with the advantage of being able to lose by as much as one goal. The Argentine side will only advance in regulation if they win by at least three goals. A two-goal victory will send the tie to penalties. Whoever advances will secure prize money of $2.3 million.  And will face LDU or Palmeiras in the semi-finals. The second leg will be this Wednesday (16), after the Brazilian side’s 1-0 win in São Paulo.  Platense 🇦🇷 Pressure is mounting on former striker Martín Palermo. His team sits just 13th out of 15 teams in Group A of Argentina’s Clausura. He will be without veteran centre-back Cuesta, formerly of Inter, Botafogo and Bahia, who is suspended. And Luciano Giménez remains out after dislocating his right shoulder.  He rested starters against Estudiantes — a 2-1 defeat — in search of another historic Libertadores qualification.  The lineup has not yet been announced. Fluminense 🟢⚪🔴 Marcão rested starters in the last round of the Brasileirão and saw his unbeaten run come to an end. Turning his focus back to the Libertadores, he will be without Nonato, who is suspended. But Canobbio, who missed the first leg after being sent off against Rivadavia, returns. The big question was the attacking setup.  Soteldo remains in the starting XI.  Photo: Reproduction/Fluminense  This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
