🇭🇺 Flu shine at Maraca, nearly snatch 'title' in BR finale | OneFootball

Fluminense finished the Brasileirão on a high note. The 2-0 victory over Bahia this Sunday secured fifth place and a direct spot in the 2026 Libertadores group stage. But the match at Maracanã was worth more than just a position on the table.

Luís Zubeldía's team closed the championship with a 100% home record. They achieved nine wins in nine matches under the coach's command, scoring 19 goals and conceding only one - from a penalty.

This sequence sets a new record for consecutive home wins for the club in the Série A.

The result also consolidated Flu as the second-best home campaign in the Brasileirão, with 46 points. Only Flamengo, with 47, scored more.

And the great momentum continued in the second half of the season: the Tricolor scored the same 37 points as Palmeiras, trailing only in goal difference.

They almost celebrated the symbolic title of the second half.

With consistency, strength at Maracanã, and growing performance, Fluminense reaches the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil against Vasco experiencing their best phase of the season.

The first leg will be next Thursday (11), with Vasco hosting.

Both matches will be at Maracanã.
