Flamengo and Estudiantes drew on Thursday 15 October in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores semi-final, reports Placar. The Brazilian club reportedly failed to register a single shot on target, according to Terra.

The encounter was deemed to be of poor quality. UOL Esporte describes "futebol de péssima qualidade" from both teams, and commentator Juca reportedly said that Flamengo did not know what to do with the ball, according to the same outlet.

The return leg is yet to come, and the prospects for the second leg are being debated, indicates Placar.
