On the night of Thursday (18), in Maracanã, in the game of the quarterfinals of the Libertadores of America.
The red-black began the match overwhelmingly, which received a platter, turned over the marker and finished in the right corner of Muslera.
The second goal came on 8 minutes, in a beautiful collective play ended by Guillermo Varela, who hit a first kick after crossing Ayrton Lucas.
Flamengo dominated the actions in the first half, accumulating 69% of possession of the ball and creating the best opportunities, forcing Muslera to make important defenses.
Best moments of Flamengo 2 x 1 Estudiantes
The scenario changed in the final minutes when Gonzalo Plata received a red card 37 minutes into the second half after receiving the second yellow in dispute with Facundo Rodríguez.
With one more player, Estudiantes diminished in additions through Guido Carrillo, who took advantage of a living ball in the area after Gastón Benedetti crosses.
The result gives Flamengo a small advantage for the return game, which will be held next Thursday (25), in Argentina, where the Brazilian team can even draw to advance to the semifinal.
