The win makes Flamengo the first Brazilian club to reach four Libertadores titles.

Overview

  • Danilo headed in Giorgian de Arrascaeta’s corner in the 67th minute to decide the single-match final in Lima.
  • Flamengo became Brazil’s most decorated club in the competition with four titles, moving beyond Palmeiras, São Paulo, Santos and Grêmio.
  • The match was bruising, with 33 fouls and seven bookings, and debate over Flamengo midfielder Erick Pulgar receiving only a yellow for a first-half challenge.
  • The triumph brings about $24 million in prize money and secures places in the Recopa Sudamericana and the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup.
  • In Brazil’s Serie A, Flamengo lead Palmeiras by five points with two games remaining, positioning them to clinch the domestic title next week.
