The expected victory of LDU over Deportivo Táchira left Flamengo under even more pressure.

And the Rubro-Negro did not do its part on this Wednesday (7) playing at the Estádio Único Madre de Ciudades, in Santiago del Estero.

They even took the lead over Central Córdoba (their nemesis at Maracanã), but saw the Argentine team fight back for a 1-1 draw.

The game was valid for the fourth round of Group C of the Copa Libertadores.

See how the situation in the group stands next.

Check out the best moments of the match soon.

Arrascaeta and Rossi shine in the 1st half

Giorgian Daniel De Arrascaeta Benedetti is going through a great phase!

The Rubro-Negro number 10 opened the scoring after exchanging passes with Gerson (10').

He now has nine goals and five assists in the season.

And he even had a great chance to increase the lead before Aguerre made the most of it.

It lacked a bit more precision for Filipe Luís' team to go into the interval with a greater advantage.

Central Córdoba had more possession and volume of play, but didn't pose a real threat.

Until Rossi made what could be one of the great saves of the season.

Unsuccessful attempts

Filipe Luís bet on Juninho for the final stretch.

Then he bet on more speed with Luiz Araújo - taking off De La Cruz.

But the spaced-out Flamengo couldn't find itself.

They had the most possession of the ball - as expected, but didn't create real scoring chances.

And now they have two games at Maracanã, needing big wins for a better chance of advancing to the round of 16.
