1/12/2008 17:14

Flamengo's chances of qualifying for the Libertadores Cup suffered a blow yesterday when they blew a 3-0 lead to draw 3-3 at home with Goias in the Brazilian soccer championship.
The team raced to a 3-0 lead in only 35 minutes with two goals from striker Obina and one from full back Juan.
Goias pulled two goals back before halftime with a Paulo Baier penalty and an Ernando header before Thiago Feltri levelled midway through the second half.
Earlier this year, Flamengo suffered a humiliating elimination in the Libertadores Cup when they were beaten 3-0 at home by Mexican side America, having gone into the match with a 4-2 lead from the first leg.
