⚡ In 30 seconds
- Flamengo has appealed to Conmebol regarding their Libertadores qualification.
- The club alleges an irregular lineup involving Marcos Rojo of Estudiantes.
- They cite a 2018 precedent involving Santos as the basis for their case.
Flamengo is attempting to overturn their Copa Libertadores qualification outcome through the Conmebol court system. The Brazilian side claims that Estudiantes fielded Marcos Rojo irregularly during their recent encounter.
To support their appeal, Flamengo is highlighting a 2018 precedent set by the South American confederation involving Santos. In that instance, Santos was eliminated from the round of 16 after Conmebol altered the result of a match against Independiente due to an irregular player registration. Independiente had filed a formal complaint following a goalless draw in the first leg held in Argentina.
