They are in the next round

Barcelona of Guayaquil manages to qualify to the next round of the Copa Libertadores and becomes the only non-Brazilian representative that still survives in the competition. 

Both teams in the first half proposed but could not score correctly, for the second half things did not change between the two, however, after a good ball connected by Gonzalo Mastriani, the score would open the scoreboard to put the first goal.

Finally, with a well taken penalty, Fred would tie things up but it would not be enough to achieve the comeback.

Key Player Fluminense

The magic of Jogo bonito lives in Gabriel Teixeira, the player trained in Fluminense's youth academy knows what the institution means and has demonstrated it little by little based on the opportunities he has been given by the coach every time he is called to be part of the senior team. Since he has been taken into account by the A team, the Brazilian has appeared 33 times in the starting line-up, scored 3 times and assisted once, and has already scored his first goal in the current edition of the Copa Libertadores, so he could be the confidence boost to be the determining factor of the match in favor of the Brazilian team.

Key Player Barcelona SC

The Uruguayan born in Montevideo, Gonzalo Mastrani, has been one of the most important pieces that Barcelona de Guayaquil got during the recent transfer market because his vast experience has helped him to be gradually included in the starting roster or have some minutes of game time by the coach. Throughout his career he has scored 68 goals of which 28 belong to the Ecuadorian team, also, he was one of the figures during the Libertadores game so he could be the factor that catapults Barcelona to another instance of semifinals.

Lastes Games:

Barcelona de Guayaquil and Fluminense have met only twice in their history, a victory in the Florida Cup for "the colossus of America" and the most recent draw in the Copa Libertadores have been the only duels between the two teams, however, the balance is slightly tilted towards the Ecuadorian side as the goal difference in the current competition favors the locals with +7 and +3 for the visiting team.

Seeking to return to the semifinals

Contrary to the Ecuadorian team, Fluminense is not a team that has been characterized by having several participations in the Copa Libertadores over the years, counting the current edition, they have only been present on seven occasions of which, the most remembered is the year 2008 where they reached the final phase and lost to Liga de Quito in a penalty shootout after an extraordinary match, which was a great final for this tournament. Since then, they have not managed to return to the same stage and now they could do it, however, for this they will have to go out with the tricolor claw that characterizes them because having conceded 2 goals at home could end up being a decisive factor for the qualification to the semifinals.

They already realized that they can do it

The last time Barcelona was in the semifinals was in the Copa Libertadores in 2017 and the last time they were close to touching glory was in the distant year of 1998 where the Brazilian team, Vasco da Gama won their first title at the expense of the Ecuadorians. However, this time could be the moment they have been waiting for, since after the good taste they left last Thursday in jogo bonito territory, the fans and the team can start dreaming of eliminating Fluminense and getting 180 minutes away from reaching another final of the best club tournament in America.

The match does not end without a winner

After a hard-fought 2-2 draw at the Maracana Stadium between Fluminense and Barcelona, this time there will be no continuation of history as only one team will have the opportunity to advance to the next round of the Copa Libertadores in search of engraving its name in the Eternal Glory. For this match, it is the Ecuadorian team who has the advantage because by scoring as a visitor they could advance to the next round, winning or tying by a score of no more than 3 goals, on the other hand, the Brazilian team will have to win by any score or tie by a score of more than 3 goals.
