The latest news on the Estudiantes vs Flamengo fixture highlights a high-stakes encounter in the Copa Libertadores Final Stage, with the second leg scheduled for September 26, 2025, at Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi. This decisive match follows a tightly contested first leg in which Flamengo edged Estudiantes 2-1 at home[2][5].

The match’s statistics showed Flamengo enjoying 56% possession, having more shots on target (8 vs. 3), and winning more corners, though Estudiantes competed strongly and kept the scoreline close[5].
