Flu denied late as Athletico Paranaense rescue a point | OneFootball

Match in Five Sentences: Athletico Paranaense and Fluminense drew 3-3 in Curitiba. In the 35th minute, Leozinho glanced in Stiven Mendoza's cross to put CAP ahead. Hulk levelled with a direct free-kick (38.), and Ignacio later headed the Tricolor Carioca in front (78.). CAP carried more threat with 17 attempts, while VAR ruled out a Kevin Viveros strike for offside (87.). Viveros then won and converted a penalty in the fifth minute of second half stoppage time, with CAP staying third on 45 points and visiting Cruzeiro next while Flu remain fourth on 42 and host Vasco da Gama before meeting Platense in the Libertadores.

Player of the Match: Agustín Canobbio drove Flu forward, scored from a difficult angle and hit three efforts on target, stretching CAP throughout the second half.

Stat of the Match: Fábio produced five saves, a vital cushion as Flu weathered CAP's late surge.

Three Things We Learned: Hulk's dead-ball delivery remains a weapon, creating a headed goal for a team-mate after his earlier equaliser. The Furacão hit 47.1% shot accuracy from 17 attempts, illustrating sustained pressure. Kevin Viveros leads the Brasileirão scoring on 17 goals, per the latest rankings.
