Happiness was short-lived for Flamengo

River Plate found the equalizer thanks to a accurate header from Uruguayan Rodrigo Mora, marking the partial draw in the match that took place at the Nilton Santos Stadium, for the first match of Group 4 of the 2018 Copa Libertadores.

After Henrique Dourado's penalty goal, 'Millo' quickly found the equalizer through a free kick. Nicolás De La Cruz provided the cross that Mora capitalized on, leaving no chance for Diego Alves.

River Plate and Flamengo are facing each other in the first match of Group 4 of the Copa Libertadores 2018 at the Nilton Santos Stadium, with 'Mengao' in great form after winning the Guanabara Cup, and 'Millo' in need of a win to overcome the crisis they are facing in the Argentine Superliga.

The Brazilian club won't be able to count on the support of their massive fanbase at the Nilton Santos Stadium, as they have to play their first two Libertadores matches without an audience as a punishment for the incidents their fans caused in the Copa Sudamericana final against Argentine Independiente at the Maracaná Stadium.
