The Copa Libertadores final kicked off at dawn on Sunday (30th), with the "Brazilian Civil War" in full swing. After a thrilling match, FALINMINCO, which is joined by former English Premier League giants Arsenal center back David Reus, narrowly beat Paranhos, another strong team in the Brazilian League, 1-0, and won the trophy again after three years, adding another medal of glory after winning the Copa Libertadores ten days ago, which can be said to be a fruitful achievement.
The match was initially evenly matched but the formation was momentarily unbalanced in the 43rd minute when Paranins defender Berdoo Hanriki was red-carded for accumulating his second yellow card. Falingo scored the only goal of the match in the dying moments of the second half of extra time by Gabil Babosha to help the team win their third Copa Libertadores title after 1981 and 2019.
In recent years, FALINGO has brought in a number of stars who have played for top European clubs, including David Reis, Chilean sensation Vidal, former Atletico Madrid left back Ferrarules, former Benfica winger Ewarton Solas, and even 37-year-old midfielder Diego Diablo, who used to play for Werder Bremen. The goal scorer of the match, Gabil Barbosa, also played for Inter Milan. It's amazing to see how a group of "past stars" like Mingo Falintango have come together to become the kings of South America.
Paranhens, on the other hand, took over the team in May by the famous Scolari and went all the way to the final, but unfortunately missed out on the title at the last step.
