Flamengo won 2-0 and eliminated Internacional from the Copa Libertadores last Wednesday (20), at the Estádio Beira-Rio, in Rio Grande do Sul. After the match, fans of the Rio Grande do Sul team assaulted journalists present in the stadium's press box, and the images went viral on social media.
After the final whistle, some Internacional fans went to the press box of the 'Canal do Baldasso', a vehicle for journalists who cover the Rio Grande do Sul club, and damaged equipment, in addition to assaulting some members. The episode of violence was recorded by one of the professionals and published on social media.
The episode of aggression generated great negative repercussions on social media among Flamengo fans, Internacional fans, and fans of other teams. In addition, the news spread throughout Brazil and was also published by the sports press shortly after the red-black victory at the Estádio Beira-Rio.
On the field, Flamengo dominated Internacional. This is because the red-black team opened the scoring with Arrascaeta still in the first half of the match. Near the end of the game, Luiz Araújo crossed into the area and Pedro, free, scored the second to give the final score to the game.
Thus, Flamengo now leaves the Copa Libertadores aside and focuses on the Campeonato Brasileiro. O Mais Querido takes the field next Monday (25), at 9 pm (Brasília time), against Vitória, at the Maracanã, in a match valid for the 21st round of the tournament.
In this way, Coluna do Fla brings all the information before and after the match, with special coverage on social media and live from the Maracanã. Finally, the game will be broadcast on Premiere, via pay-per-view, and also on SporTV, on pay TV.
