The game against Fluminense was marked by moments of intensity and balance. Fortaleza opened up an advantage in the first half, taking advantage of the opportunities, but was unable to sustain the result until the end. “It was a good match, especially away from home, against an opponent who also needed to score. We defended well, scored two goals and had several shots, but we didn't kill the game with a third goal. The draw was painful,”said Vojvoda.
With 64 points, Fortaleza is behind Palmeiras (67) and Botafogo (69), the two main competitors in the title dispute. Despite the frustrating result, Vojvoda highlighted the squad's performance and highlighted the importance of maintaining focus from game to game. “Our focus must be on the next match. Each team is playing for its goals, whether for the title, for international competitions or to avoid relegation. Now, our challenge is against Flamengo,” scored.
