The ticketing impasse
The week began with a sleep-depriving question for Flamengo's fans: where would the first leg of the Copa Libertadores semifinals against Estudiantes be played? On Thursday, the answer came the game will indeed take place at the Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium in La Plata.
The problem was the amount of tickets for visiting fans.The space traditionally reserved for rivals in the Argentine stadium holds between 2 thousand and 2.5 thousand people.Conmebol's regulation for the semifinal phase, however, requires a minimum of 4 thousand tickets to the visitor.
Unable to find a solution at home, the Estudiantes board came up with radical alternatives: sending the game to El Cilindro, Racing's stadium, or La Fortaleza, Lanús' home.
The Solution Found
The agreement came with an unprecedented decision: the red and black fans will have a whole sector behind one of the goals, with capacity for about 6 thousand people.
The confirmation was made by the Argentine club itself on social media: [Argentina]
"El Club Estudiantes de La Plata confirms that the match against Club de Regatas Flamengo on October 15th by CONMEBOL Libertadores will be held at Estadio Uno. See you at home!"
On the Brazilian side, the decision was welcomed by a detail beyond the fan sector: the quality of the pitch, considered modern, weighed on Flamengo's assessment when accepting the agreement.
Jorge Luis Hirschi was re-inaugurated in, after a long reform process, and has capacity for spectators, according to official data of the Argentine club.
