Acosta strikes as Flu stay fourth in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Fluminense beat Vasco da Gama 1-0 on Sunday at the Maracanã as Luciano Acosta's second half winner keeps the hosts fourth in the Brasileirão.

Yeferson Soteldo's teasing cross found Luciano Acosta to finish from close range in the 61st minute, moments after the Argentine had come on.

Fábio was decisive with four saves, denying Lucas Piton before the break and then Santiago Sosa in the sixth minute of second half stoppage time.

After the change that introduced Acosta for Ganso, Flu carried greater threat down the left, while Hulk forced Léo Jardim into stops either side of half time.

Flu registered seven attempts, with four on target. Vasco mustered 14 attempts and slung in 36 crosses but could not find a way past the veteran goalkeeper.

Flu remain fourth. Vasco stay 17th in the relegation places. Next, Flu host Platense in the Libertadores. Vasco visit Santa Fe in the Sudamericana.
