Independiente del Valle
Flamengo were made to work for a draw on the night but never looked in danger of losing the tie after building a commanding aggregate lead in the first leg. Independiente del Valle took a deserved lead through Djorkaeff Reasco in the 31st minute and looked to be heading toward a mere consolation win until Jorginho's rash challenge earned a second yellow and left Flamengo down to ten men in the 65th minute. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Flamengo pushed forward and were rewarded when substitute Giorgian de Arrascaeta rose highest to head home from a corner in the 83rd minute, capping a spell of second-half urgency reflected in Flamengo's statistical dominance - 53% possession, 10 shots to 8, and a big advantage in dangerous attacks. For Independiente del Valle, the result ends their Libertadores run despite a battling display and a numerical advantage for the final 25 minutes, while Flamengo march on to the next round with confidence despite a disjointed performance marred by three yellow cards and a sending off in the space of 12 minutes.
