Tonight, Racing and Flamengo will face off at the Presidente Perón Stadium, better known as the 'Cylinder of Avellaneda', in a bid for a place in the Copa Libertadores final. The series is currently favorable to the Brazilian team, which secured a valuable 1-0 victory in the first leg, held at the Maracanã stadium, although 'La Academia' will try to turn the story around in front of their home crowd, which is more hopeful than ever about reaching the final of South America's most important club tournament for the first time since 1967. A draw will be enough for Flamengo to advance to the final, while Racing needs to win by at least two goals. The starting goalkeeper for 'La Academia', who is in great form, has faced 32 penalties, saving nine, with two going wide and 21 being scored. Even Cambeses had a legendary performance in the 2022 Copa Argentina, while playing for Banfield, he saved a penalty from Godoy Cruz in regular time and three more in the shootout. Rossi's penalty stats: He has faced 88 penalties, saving 28 (31.8%), with 8 going wide and 52 being scored (59%). Cambeses's penalty stats: He has faced 32 penalties, saving 9 (28.1%), with 2 going wide and 21 being scored (65%). However, if the Argentine team wins by one goal, everything will be decided in a penalty shootout. From the penalty spot, everything indicates that Flamengo will be the great candidate, as its goalkeeper Agustín Rossi is a specialist in penalties. The player with a past at Boca has faced 88 penalties in his career, of which he saved a considerable 28, while eight went wide and he was scored on 52 occasions. Rossi has both a negative and a positive record against Racing in penalty shootouts. The first of these occurred in the 2021 Copa de la Liga semi-finals, where his team lost 4-2 on penalties, while in the 2022 Copa de la Liga, he was key to his team's 6-5 victory. But Cambeses's penalty numbers are by no means bad.
