The last time the Rio club faced a Mexican team was in 2014, when they lost 3-2 to León at the Maracanã in the Copa Libertadores group stage. The negative result resulted in the elimination of the Brazilian team from the continental tournament.
However, the most painful for Flamengo fans was the 3-0 defeat to América do México, also at Maracanã, in the round of 16 for the Libertadores that year. After winning 4 x 2 at the Azteca Stadium, Flamengo saw Salvador Cabañas shine with two goals and contribute to a historic 3 x 0 turnaround on Brazilian soil.
