However, despite the broad dominance of ball possession, there were few real chances to expand. After the break, the scenario did not change. Flamengo scored early, thanks to an excellent play by Alex Sandro on the left, who left the ball in measure for Luiz Araújo to unleash the bomb. But the opportunities to make the third continued to be rare, the physical conditioning of the rubro-negro team began to drop, and the Ecuadorians also enjoyed the the result, Flamengo reached eight points and took second place in Group C for having a better goal difference than LDU (+2 x +1).
