Ex-Sporting man’s nightmare: Fluminense thrashed in São Paulo | OneFootball

São Paulo, where Cedric Soares plays, suffered its worst defeat in the last two and a half decades last night: a heavy 6-0 loss against Fluminense at the Maracanã. The former Sporting player remained on the bench, witnessing the rout.

This result not only confirmed the qualification of the Rio de Janeiro team for the Copa Libertadores but also left the tricolor club without any mathematical chance of reaching the top-7, the zone that guarantees direct entry or access to the continental tournament.

The goals were scored by Canobbio, who netted twice, along with Martinelli, Nonato, John Kennedy, and Serna. With this victory, Fluminense temporarily rose to 5th place, accumulating 58 points – still awaiting the matches of Botafogo and Bahia. São Paulo, on the other hand, remains in 8th place with 10 points less and can no longer enter the G-7.

In the next round, São Paulo will host Internacional. The match is scheduled for December 3rd, at 11:00 PM Portugal Continental time. Fluminense, in turn, will visit Grêmio, but in a match played the previous night.

Cédric Soares was trained with the green and whites and represented the various youth levels of the club for 17 years. For the main team of Sporting, the Portuguese player played 94 games, scored two goals, and made nine assists, having won a Portuguese Cup in 2014/15.
