I’ll put this here if only for the very tenuous link that game also had a 2-1 scoreline.

Currently in Lima, Peru which on weekend hosted the Copa Libertadores Final. 

Flamengo with a dramatic late 2-1 win over River Plate. 

The Argentinians were up 1-0 and looked in control until 85th min, when the Brazilians equalised. 

A few minutes later (90th min??) Flamengo pounced for the winner. 

Shades of Man U verus Bayern in UCL final 20 years ago.

Final was supposed to be in Santiago, but with all the unrest in Chile at the last minute was moved to Lima. Caused big problems for fans of both teams getting last minute flights etc. Spoke to a happy but tired Flamengo fan who had to wait around in Lima (Miraflores), 5 days after the game hoping to get a flight out. Even then he had to fly up to Panama first, before getting back to Rio. Apparently for them qualifying for the CWC is a big deal, and they love the idea of knocking over Liverpool or whoever.

Anyway thought maybe of some interest, esp to those AWs fans that were in Lima 2 years ago.

Tried to download some match highlights but no luck. It really was a crazy finish.
