The Flamengo team had a small celebration after securing their place in the Libertadores semifinals, but it was a muted one due to their poor performance. Players such as Léo Ortiz and Emerson Royal expressed their disappointment with the team's display, particularly in the first half. Ortiz described the feeling as "practically a defeat at home".
The team's struggles were compounded by the difficult conditions at the Maracanã, with the grass causing problems for their playing style. Ortiz acknowledged that the team needs to improve and not give in to "relaxation", especially in crucial matches. The team will have a chance to regroup and recharge during the upcoming Data Fifa break, which will give them time to rest and train.
