Fabrício Bruno rues luck, hails Fábio after Cruzeiro-Fluminense draw

The goalless draw between Cruzeiro and Fluminense this Sunday (9), at Mineirão, had a major contribution from Fábio, the Tricolor’s goalkeeper. On the other side, Cruzeiro’s players left the field with the feeling that they could have come away with the win.

Defender Fabrício Bruno, in an interview with Premiere, highlighted the dominance of the Minas Gerais team throughout the match and acknowledged that they lacked efficiency in finishing to turn their good performance into a result.

“I think we just needed a happier afternoon and a bit more luck, right? I think Fábio did really well in the game; in the chances we had, he was the one who ended up saving their team, but I think we played a good game. We knew we would have greater control of the match, but unfortunately we couldn’t turn that total control into goals,” said the defender.

Cruzeiro created the main chances of the match, especially in the second half of the first period, when they intensified their offensive pressure. Even so, they were stopped by the good saves of the former number 1 for Cruzeiro, who had a decisive performance to help Fluminense hold on to the result.

With the draw, the team led by Leonardo Jardim continues to collect important points in the final stretch of the Brazilian Championship, remaining in 3rd place with 64 points, and keeps its focus on the fight for a direct spot in the Copa Libertadores.

The next match will only take place after the break for the FIFA Date: on November 20, against Juventude, at Alfredo Jaconi in Caxias do Sul.
