Mengao took care of business in Caracas, Venezuela on Wednesday night. Flamengo took it to the home side and won going away 3-1 in the Copa Libertadores.

Vagner Love continued his torrid scoring pace.

Love hit the daily double.

Rubro-Negro’s first goal was the result of a penalty. Leonardo Moura made a great run into the box. He fired a wicked pass to Petkovic. The ball nipped the hand of Caracas defender Romero.

Magic presto Mengao has a gift.

Love nailed the PK in the 35th minute to give us a 1-0 lead.

Caracas tied this baby up in the 65th minute.

Castellin whipped a pass to mate Alvaro. Alvaro flat out beat Bruno to level the match at one all.

Flamengo pressed the attack.

Mengao was rewarded in the 79th minute.

Vagner Love took it straight to the rack. He fired a rocket that hit the crossbar. The shot went ker plunk into the back of the net.

Mengao was up 2-1.

Rubro-Negro put this puppy away in the 93rd minute.

Kleberson stole the ball in the Caracas end of the pitch. He whipped a pass to Rodrigo Alvirn.

Alvirn nailed this gimmie to put Caracas out of their misery.

We now are atop Group 8 with six points.

Yes, this was a much-needed win for Mengao in Caracas’s house.

Mengao entered this match with a lot of crazy stuff happening. Adriano had to miss this match because he and his fiancé are fighting.

Besides that, The Emperor is out of shape.

UOL www.uol.com.br had this to say- O Flamengo entrou em campo nesta quarta-feira, contra o Caracas, na Venezuela, sabendo que somente uma vitória faria com que a crise na Gávea fosse amenizada após a polêmica em torno de Adriano na última semana. Mesmo pressionado e com um a menos durante boa parte do segundo tempo, o time se superou e, sob a batuta de Vagner Love, autor de dois gols, venceu mais uma sem o Imperador, desta vez por 3 a 1.

Without Adriano head man Andrade used Love as his lone striker. Petkovic was moved into the midfield. Sem o astro, o técnico Andrade optou por deixar apenas Vagner Love no ataque e voltou a escalar Petkovic como titular. Desde o Fla-Flu do dia 31 de janeiro, o qual foi substituído no intervalo e abandonou o estádio, o sérvio não iniciava um jogo.

Mengao defender Toro was sent to the sin bin for rough play in the 53rd minute. This could have cost Mengao the match but the guys sucked it up and powered through being a man down to take the win.

Globo Esporte http://globoesporte.globo.com/ had this to say- O Flamengo conseguiu uma vitória heroica sobre o Caracas, nesta quarta-feira, na Venezuela, pela Taça Libertadores, que serviu para afastar a crise do “caso Chatuba”, que tomou conta da Gávea nos últimos dias. Mesmo sem Adriano, o time venceu por 3 a 1, e o segundo tempo foi emocionante. O Rubro-Negro teve um jogador a menos desde os minutos iniciais – Toró recebeu o cartão vermelho. Vagner Love fez dois gols, e Rodrigo Alvim, o terceiro. Castellín marcou o da equipe da casa.

Two bad things happened to Mengao. First Willams was lost due to an injury and then Toro was sent off for his second yellow card. The second card was an ugly foul. The ref had to send him bye-bye.

A partir daí, dois fatos inesperados. O primeiro aconteceu quando Fernando sentiu um problema muscular e teve de deixar o campo. Quando o Flamengo estava com um a menos, Gabriel Cichero deu um drible entre as pernas de Toró, que fez falta feia, recebeu o segundo amarelo e foi expulso. Em dois minutos, Andrade ficou sem seus dois volantes de marcação. O jeito foi improvisar Rodrigo Alvim, que substituiu Fernando.

Not a pretty win but us Flamengistas will take it.
