📹 Stunning goal and bizarre blunder put Flu ahead of Fla, watch here | OneFootball

At Maracanã, Fluminense is beating Flamengo 2-0 this Wednesday (19th), in the 34th round of the Brasileirão.

The red-and-black team came in "calm," after all, Palmeiras drew with Vitória earlier, so the Cariocas could pull away at the top of the table.

But in the first 45 minutes of the derby, it was the Tricolor das Laranjeiras who dominated the action. 

After Canobbio hit the post just before five minutes, another foreigner brought joy to the Fluminense fans. 

The short Lucho Acosta received a pass from Hércules and struck first time, lobbing the keeper, to open the scoring.

Flamengo pushed forward to try to attack, but ended up making a big mistake at the back. 

Serna contested the ball in the air, and the young defender João Victor made a difficult and dangerous back pass to Rossi.

The Argentine goalkeeper kept the ball in play, but mishandled it and left it at Serna's feet, who simply tapped it into the net to increase the Tricolor's lead in the derby.

The young defender João Victor, who had already slipped up in the last match against Sport, also gave the ball away to Martinelli, but the Tricolor midfielder couldn't capitalize.

🚦 How things are shaping up

Fluminense's partial victory is putting the team in sixth place with 54 points.
