Libertadores: Cruzeiro and Flamengo draw 1-1 in opening leg

In the Copa Libertadores round of 16, Cruzeiro and Flamengo played to a 1-1 draw at the Mineirão stadium. Keny Arroyo opened the scoring for Cruzeiro in the second half, but Lucas Paquetá secured an equalizer for Flamengo following a rebound from a Léo Ortiz header. The two Brazilian sides will face each other again in the second leg at the Maracanã to decide who advances.

In a separate matchup, Corinthians secured a 0-0 draw against Rosario Central in Argentina. Despite playing much of the match with ten men following the expulsion of Allan, the Brazilian team held the scoreline steady. However, the match was marred by reports of racism, as Corinthians goalkeeper Hugo Souza was targeted with racial insults by Rosario Central supporters. The club has issued an official statement repudiating the acts and calling for a formal investigation to identify and punish those responsible.
