Cano has scored 14 goals in Carioca derbies since joining Fluminense | OneFootball

After scoring in the victory of Fluminense over Botafogo, in the 25th round of the Brasileirão, the Argentine striker Germán Cano reached his 14th goal in Carioca classics wearing the Tricolor das Laranjeiras jersey.

Cano joined Fluminense in 2022, after playing for two seasons at Vasco. In the Carioca Tricolor, the Argentine maintained the reputation of “scourge“, scoring goals in classics.

In three years, Cano has played in 38 classics and scored 14 goals. His biggest victim is Flamengo, who suffered seven goals from the striker. The Argentine also scored four times against Vasco and shook the net three times against Botafogo.

Cano also stands out for his efficiency. Out of 11 big chances, he converted eight. He averages 6.6 shots to score. The data is from Sofascore.

Fluminense's Phase

The victory against Botafogo marked the breaking of a taboo for Fluminense. The Tricolor das Laranjeiras had not beaten the Glorious since June 26, 2022. During this period, there were nine games, with eight victories for the Lone Star and one draw.

The triumph also kept Fluminense in the eighth position of the Brazilian Championship, with 34 points — six less than Bahia, the sixth place.

Zubeldía's team returns to the field this Wednesday, at 7 pm (Brasília time), when they visit Sport, at Ilha do Retiro, for the 26th round of the Brasileirão.
