Fluminense knock out Bangu, reach Campeonato Carioca semi-finals | OneFootball

Fluminense is in the semifinals of the Campeonato Carioca. The team eliminated Bangu with a 3-1 victory this Carnival Monday at the Maracanã. Savarino, Canobbio, and Ganso scored for the Tricolor, while Ricardo Sena scored for the visitors. In the first half, Flu had an unexciting start, with a lot of ball possession but few opportunities. After the players' talk with Zubeldía during the technical break, the situation changed. The Tricolor opened the scoring with Savarino, who scored his first goal in the tricolor jersey. The Venezuelan took advantage of Guga's cross and beautifully shot into the corner. Minutes later, Canobbio extended the lead with a shot from outside the box, which deflected off the opposing defense and “fooled” the goalkeeper.

In the second half, Fluminense got a fresh boost with changes in the attack: Lucho Acosta, Serna, and Santi Moreno came in and played well. The third tricolor goal came from a penalty, won by Santi Moreno, who was brought down by the Bangu goalkeeper. Ganso took the penalty and scored. Bangu managed a consolation goal with Ricardo Sena, who capitalized on a mistake by defender Freytes and finished in the corner past Fábio.

Qualified, Fluminense will face Vasco in the semifinals of the Campeonato Carioca over the next two weekends. The Ferj is expected to announce the dates and times of the matches soon.
