Sporting Cristal visits Flamengo tonight at the mythical Maracaná for the closing of the group stage of the Copa Libertadores and will seek a victory that gives them a consolation prize called Copa Sudamericana.
YOU CAN SEE:
Roberto Mosquera is excited about defeating Flamengo in Brazil
And if one sees the group H table, that remote option is still viable for Roberto Mosquera's team, because Flamengo and Talleres de Córdoba are already classified for the next round. While Universidad Católica (4) and Sporting Cristal (2) will have to define the ticket to the 'Suda'.
Obviously, for 'SC' to achieve it, they will have to achieve a feat in Brazil, where they are obliged to defeat the leader Flamengo, and also wait for 'T' to give them a hand in their visit to Chile.
Therefore, in the event that the Rimenses are successful in Brazil, and the Chileans draw or lose against Talleres, Sporting Cristal will qualify for the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana 2022.
Celeste illusion
Sporting Cristal arrived in Brazil with the best of its squad and will not save anything to try its last chance to continue in international competition. And as in football, there is nothing impossible, hope is alive in the celestials.
The best thing of all is that 'Mengao' will play without their stars 'Gabigol' and Bruno Henrique, alternating with several substitutes and that can be taken advantage of in the Maracaná by Mosquera's team.
The celeste eleven for the match against Flamengo will be the following: Alejandro Duarte, Johan Madrid, Gianfranco Chávez, Omar Merlo, Nilson Loyola, Jesús Castillo, Horacio Calcaterra, Yoshimar Yotún, Christofer Gonzales, Leandro Sosa and Irven Ávila.
