Flamengo have been crowned champions of the Copa Libertadores. The Rio de Janeiro club secured their fourth title with a 1-0 victory over Palmeiras at the Monumental U stadium in Lima, Peru.
The match was a tense affair. Flamengo dominated the early stages of the first half but struggled to convert their chances.
From Arrascaeta's pinpoint delivery, Danilo rose unchallenged to head in the opening goal for Fla.
Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira responded to the goal by introducing Facundo Torres, Felipe Anderson, Giay, Sosa, and Mauricio, but these changes ultimately had little impact on scoreline.
Flamengo secures over 150 million reais in prize money from the competition and a place in the Intercontinental Cup. This historic triumph also establishes Flamengo as the most successful Brazilian club in the Copa Libertadores.
Overall, this marks Brazil's 25th title in the Libertadores, drawing them level with Argentinian clubs for the most competition wins.
