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.
