Mengao dug themselves into a huge hole. Sure, we won the battle but lost the war.

Flamengo defeated Universidad de Chile 2-1 in Santiago, Chile but Mengao lost on away goal difference.

Both Adriano and Vagner Love tickled the twines but Chile’s lone goal in the 63^rd killed Flamengo.

Globo Esporte put it this way-O império caiu, é verdade. Mas foi de pé. Maltratado e massacrado por ofensas como reino do colesterol dias antes do duelo, o Flamengo não conseguiu o improvável. Venceu por 2 a 1 o Universidad de Chile, em Santiago, mas despediu-se da Taça Libertadores.

UOL had this say-Flamengo jogou com raça, lutou, derrotou o Universidade do Chile por 2 a 1, no Estádio Santa Laura, nesta quinta-feira, em Santiago, mas não se classificou à semifinal da Copa Libertadores da América. O time rubro-negro precisava de mais um, pois foi derrotado no Maracanã por 3 a 2.

We lost so we now have to deal with it.

Universidad de Chile ripped Rubro-Negro at Maracanã 3-2. This was the difference. Sure both sides were tied four all on goals but that pesky three away goals sent Mengao packing.

O Rubro-Negro precisava vencer por dois gols de diferença, ou por um a partir de 4 a 3. E fez um ótimo primeiro tempo. Em jogada combinada de Love e Adriano, o camisa 9 abriu o placar. No segundo tempo, em um dos únicos vacilos defensivos, Montillo fez jogada genial e empatou. Em jogada igualmente brilhante, Adriano fez 2 a 1. Era pouco.

This stinks.

Bruno made some really great saves to keep Flamengo in the match.

At one point Bruno looked like a sitting duck in shooting gallery.

Adriano played great and so did Love.

The Emperor and Love played like they were on a mission. The Chile coach called them both fat.

Adriano and Vagner Love both said screw you. We will show you how good we both are.

Adriano e Vagner Love, chamados de “gordos” pelo treinador do Universidade do Chile Gerardo Pelusso, ficaram mordidos com as declarações e mostraram uma enorme disposição.

Adriano leg whipped a great bicycle kick into the center of the box. Vagner Love ripped the header in the 46^th minute to give Mengao a 1-0 lead at half.

Montillo fired a shot past the outstretched hands of Bruno in the 63^rd minute to this baby up at one all.

Adriano found the answer in the 77^th minute. The Emperor rifled a winner to give Mengao 2-1 edge.

It was too little too late.

This is the second straight year Mengao has bombed out in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores.

The semifinals of the Copa Libertadores will be held after the World Cup.

Brasileiro side Sao Paulo advanced to semifinals along with Universidad de Chile, Chivas, and Internacional.
