In second place, the Tricolor has 30 points.

The team coached by Felipe Canavan returns to the field next Wednesday (09/09), when they face América-MG at 3 p.m. at Arena Urbsan, in Betim (MG), in the 16th round.

THE MATCH

After falling behind in the 14th minute, Fluminense looked dangerous with Danylo Amaral in aerial plays. The outlet on the left came through Richard Wendel, who twice set up Jean Carlos’s left foot and again tested the goalkeeper. During the Moleques de Xerém’s best spell, the opposing defense poorly cleared Richard Wendel’s cross, leaving the loose ball for Danylo Amaral to beat his marker and shoot just inches wide of the post. In the next move, Ryan combined with Richard Wendel and, from the left wing, fired a deflected shot into the keeper’s hands.

The clock had barely started the second half when the Tricolor found the net. Played through by Danylo Amaral, Jean Carlos drove to the byline on the right and crossed for Carlos Miguel, at the far post, to finish. Jean Carlos threatened again in the box after crosses from Richard Wendel, but narrowly missed the target. Riquelmy, meanwhile, tried his luck from the edge of the area. Then Jean Carlos spotted Carlos Miguel’s overlapping run, and even under pressure, he got off a very dangerous shot. Down to 10 men from the 35th minute, Flu nearly completed the comeback through Davi, who combined with Isaque and, with a header, forced a great save from the goalkeeper. The opposition snatched the win with the last kick of the game.
