Buenos Aires, November 19 (NA) – Argentine goalkeeper Agustín Rossi, who had recently been hailed as one of the heroes after Flamengo's qualification to the Copa Libertadores final, was the protagonist of an unusual error in the classic match played this Wednesday night against Fluminense at Maracanã. According to the Argentine News Agency, the 'Mengao', leader of the Brasileirão and a recent continental finalist, was already losing 1-0 when, at the half-hour mark, the 'Flu' managed to extend the lead thanks to a blooper by the former Boca and Estudiantes goalkeeper. The play occurred when Rossi received a difficult ball from a defender. However, the ball went long. Fluminense's attacker, Kevin Serna, took advantage of the unexpected lapse to intercept and push the ball into the net, sealing the 2-0 partial score before the end of the first half. This error contrasts sharply with Rossi's recent stellar performance, where he was the standout figure in the Libertadores semifinals against Racing in Avellaneda, making crucial saves that kept a clean sheet and secured his team's place in the final. Instead of clearing the ball on the first touch, the Argentine attempted to control it and do a little trick.
