Flamengo claims irregular escalation of Marcos Rojo by Estudiantes in

Flamengo is participating in an action regarding the irregular escalation of Marcos Rojo, of Estudiantes, in the semifinal of the competition, according to Globo Esporte Futebol. The club is citing four previous cases where the Conmebol recognized irregular escalations.

The Flamengo is counting on some precedents from the Conmebol to plead for a spot in the Libertadores final. The club is relying on four previous cases where the Conmebol recognized irregular escalations. In 2017, the Conmebol informed Chapecoense that Luiz Otávio was not eligible to play due to suspension, but the Brazilian team claimed not to have been informed officially. The Conmebol punished Chapecoense by removing their points and awarding them to Lanús. In 2018, San Lorenzo complained to the Conmebol about the irregular escalation of Jonathan Requena by Deportes Temuco. The Conmebol accepted the complaint and awarded the victory to San Lorenzo. In the same year, River Plate's Bruno Zuculini was not suspended despite being expelled in 2013, and the Conmebol recognized the error but did not alter the results. In 2018, the Conmebol changed the result of a game between Santos and Independiente due to the irregular escalation of Carlos Sánchez. The Conmebol punished Santos by removing a point from their score. In 2019, the Conmebol accepted a complaint from Defensor Sporting about the irregular escalation of Sebastián Pérez by Barcelona SC. The Conmebol changed the result of the game and awarded the victory to Defensor Sporting.
