I am not a Fluminense fan, loosing in the Maracana

It was once the largest stadium in the world, seating just over 200,000 spectators

is not something fun, I think today is not a good day for the Fluminense's fans.

Goalkeeper Jose Francisco Cevallos saved three penalties and Liga de Quito defeated Fluminense 3-1 in a shootout to become the first Ecuadorean club to win the Copa Libertadores on Wednesday.
Liga clinched the title of Latin America's most important club competition despite a 3-1 loss in regulation, which tied the aggregate score at 5-5. It had won the first leg 4-2 last week in Quito and could have lifted the trophy with a draw or even a one-goal loss at Maracana stadium. The teams drew 0-0 in extra time.
