Fluminense draw with Atlético-MG and stay clear atop Brasileirão U17 | OneFootball

Fluminense picked up another point in its campaign for a third Brazilian Under-17 Championship title. On the morning of this Sunday (2), the team drew 0-0 with Atlético-MG at Sesc Venda Nova in Belo Horizonte, in the 10th round of the competition.

With the result, Tricolor moved up to 23 points and remains the outright leader of the league, maintaining a four-point advantage over second-placed Corinthians.

The match also marked the debut of head coach Felipe Canavan in charge of the team. Under the new manager, Fluminense extended its unbeaten run to four matches and confirmed the defensive solidity that has been one of the hallmarks of its campaign. The team recorded its seventh straight clean sheet and still has the best defense in the competition.

Even playing away from home, Tricolor created the main chances of the match. Gabriel Justen, Carlos Miguel, Riquelmy, Fábio José, Jean Carlos, Danilo Melo and Ryan threatened the opposition goal, but were denied by the Atlético goalkeeper’s fine saves or failed to convert the chances they created.

Fluminense’s next Brasileirão Under-17 match will be on August 11 at 3 p.m. against Vitória at Marcelo Vieira Stadium in Xerém, in the 11th round of the competition.
