Canobbio hails Acosta’s assist in Fluminense win: ‘Pure class’

Fluminense’s 2-0 victory over Remo on Thursday night at Mangueirão saw direct involvement from Agustín Canobbio. The Uruguayan scored the second goal of the match and made a point of sharing the credit for the play with Luciano Acosta, who provided the assist.

According to the forward, the play was born from quick understanding on the field. Noticing space on the opposite side, he called for the switch of play to the Argentine, who delivered a precise cross for the finish at the far post.

Happy for the win. I think the goal came from a collective play that we’ve been working on for a long time. I had already told Acosta to switch the play because I was alone, and he did it. He’s a star. I was expecting the ball at the far post, but it was good,” said the forward.

In addition to the goal, Canobbio assessed the team’s current moment in the season. The player acknowledged the frustration of losing the state championship, but emphasized that the squad needs to turn the page and stay focused on the upcoming competitions.

We’re doing a good job. We didn’t achieve the main goal, which was the state title, but we have to keep moving forward because the year is very long and intense. We have to keep working with a lot of humility,” he stated.

With the away win, Fluminense reached 10 points in the Brazilian Championship and climbed to third place in the standings. The Tricolor’s next match is this Sunday at 4 p.m., in a clash against Athletico-PR at Maracanã.
