Game Overview
Group stage Copa Libertadores match with Flamengo seeking redemption after a 1-2 home loss to Central Córdoba on April 9, 2025. This rematch features contrasting forms, with Central Córdoba struggling domestically (1 win in last 5 Liga Profesional matches) and Flamengo aiming to solidify knockout stage credentials.
