Uruguayan club Penarol has secured a historic spot in the Copa Libertadores semifinals for the first time in 13 years after a goalless draw against Brazil’s Flamengo at home. They will now face Botafogo in the next round, a team also making a return to the semifinals after a long absence.
Flamengo head coach Tite, who led Brazil to the Copa America title in 2019, was hospitalized for an irregular heartbeat but is now recovering well. He will be released from the hospital on Saturday and is expected to miss Sunday’s match against Bragantino.
