Overview
- Flamengo, which won 2–0 in Cusco on Wednesday, moved top of Group A after Independiente Medellín and Estudiantes drew 1–1.
- Giorgian de Arrascaeta’s late goal brought him to 45 Libertadores goal involvements this century, trailing only Juan Román Riquelme.
- Bruno Henrique ended a two-year run without an away goal in the competition by heading in an Ayrton Lucas cross early in the second half.
- The team cut the impact of the thin air by limiting its stay, choosing a hotel with higher oxygen flow, and using oxygen cylinders at halftime, according to defender Léo Pereira.
- Coach Leonardo Jardim said he set a compact, possession-first plan to avoid the home side’s direct style, and the players kept control for long stretches.
