It was already a decision for Flamengo after the surprising defeat at Maracanã to Central Córdoba.

The Rubro-Negro faced LDU and the altitude of Quito (2,850 m) on Tuesday night (22) in search of recovery.

And it didn't go beyond 0 x 0 at Casa Blanca.

The duel was valid for the third round of Group C of the Copa Libertadores.

Lacked... football!

LDU respected Flamengo. It didn't try immediate pressure and showed little inspiration when it had the ball.

This left Filipe Luís' team with space and possession (over 60%) to create in the initial stage.

The best chance came with Arrascaeta. More inspiration was needed.

Unsuccessful attempts

The first bet for the second half was the entry of Pedro.

Then, Filipe Luís bet on the speed of Luiz Araújo and Cebolinha.

Luiz Araújo was the one who had the best chance for the Rubro-Negro after taking responsibility.

The great opportunity of the second half was from LDU. Without marking, Estrada sent the "game ball" out at 93'.

The absence of greater care caused Flamengo to leave two points in Quito.
