Decisive figure sparks Flu turnaround against Remo | OneFootball

Yeferson Soteldo swung the game in the 66th minute with a curling cross for the equaliser, as Fluminense beat Remo 2-1. His delivery and control set the platform for the late push.

From the left, Soteldo measured the cut-back depth and pace to invite a firm header that levelled the contest. After a brief review, VAR confirmed the goal (66.).

He then kept the visitors retreating by drawing set pieces, first winning a free kick in the attacking half (72.). Later he earned another on the left that led to a booking for Yago Pikachu (81.), maintaining pressure in the same channel.

Soteldo's numbers told the story: five key passes, three accurate crosses from eight and six possession wins. The winger also completed 12 successful final third passes, repeatedly turning territory into chances.

With Flu controlling the ball and stretching Leão Azul wide, his angles into the box forced constant defensive resets. That pattern ensured Fluminense controlled the key phases even after substitutions.

The display underlines his importance to the Tricolor Carioca's top four push. Flu visit Athletico Paranaense next, while Leão Azul host Coritiba.
