BRAZIL WAITS FOR NEXT OPPONENT

After winning 3-2 at Gávea, Rubro-Negro was defeated 2-1 by Tricolor, this Sunday (6), resulting in a tie on aggregate. José Eduardo scored the decisive penalty and started the party.

SUMMARY

Needing to win, Fluminense started the match trying to occupy the attacking field and had a chance with a free kick early on. The ball went to the right of goalkeeper Alessandro. The opponent had more volume, but most of the plays were balls thrown into the area. A free kick from the left hit the crossbar in the 19th minute.

Shortly after, at 22 minutes, Tricolor ended up scoring the first goal, precisely from a rebound after a cross from the left, taken advantage of by Crystian Gabriel. The red-and-black team, which had difficulty imposing its game, improved after conceding the goal and started to create a few more chances. It was Fluminense, however, that came very close to extending the lead shortly before the end of the first half. The defense was unable to clear the ball and Alessandro saved a point-blank shot from the opposing striker.

Early in the second half, Fla made a good play with Leonardo Gabriel, who came down the right, crossed and the defense cleared. On the counterattack, penalty for Fluminense, who scored the second in the 2nd minute, with Ryan Santos. Guilherme missed a great opportunity to reduce the deficit with a header, right after.

The opponent continued to play better and could have increased the lead in the 6th minute. Two minutes later, Rubro-Negro finally scored the first goal. Samuel Julio headed the ball accurately after a corner kick by Thomas Robson. Fluminense had another dangerous attack in the 17th minute, while Fla's response came in the 19th minute, with a shot over the top by José Eduardo.

Most of the plays were concentrated in the midfield . The red-blacks were unable to complete their attacks and Fluminense even managed to score twice, but goalkeeper Alessandro made the save with ease. As Fla had won the first game 3-2, the 2-1 defeat took the title decision to penalties.
