Next week, Fluminense, who are looking for their first Copa Libertadores title, will start playing for a spot in the semifinals of the continental tournament against Olimpia. The first leg will be held at Maracanã on the 24th and the return is scheduled for the 31st, at the Defensores Del Achado Stadium, in Paraguay.

Although Fluminense still has América Mineiro for the Brasileirão this weekend, both Diniz, his coaching staff, directors and fans are only thinking about next Thursday’s game (24th), against the Paraguayans. And this Thursday (17), news coming from Conmebol shook everyone at the Rio de Janeiro club.

This is because the highest body in South America opened disciplinary proceedings against Olimpia, from Paraguay, for incidents in the game against Flamengo for the Libertadores. Conmebol, upon analyzing the images, opened an investigation against Fluzão’s opponent due to the use of bombs and fireworks recorded inside the Defensores del Chaco, in Asunción. The situation occurred after the team commanded by Arce eliminated the biggest rival of Tricolor das Laranjeiras. The information is from the GE portal.

Also according to the GE, Olimpia is already aware of the complaint and has a deadline to defend itself. The decision on whether or not to punish the Paraguayan team will take place even before the teams face each other next Thursday (24th), at Maracanã. It is worth mentioning, in my understanding, that Arce’s team will not lose control of the field and if a punishment is actually applied, it will be in the form of a fine.a.

Early this Thursday morning (17), the NetFlu portal brought information from the article for which the Paraguayan team was framed. “Code 12.2 dealing with order and safety at matches. One of the prohibitions is “lighting flares, fireworks or any other type of pyrotechnic object”.
