Flu’s win over Vitória puts them in an elite Brasileirão group | OneFootball

On the afternoon of this Saturday (20th), Fluminense defeated Vitória 1-0 at Barradão, in a match valid for the 24th round of the Brasileirão.

The goal that brought relief to the tricolor fans was scored by Hércules.

With the result, Fluminense entered the "group of 80" of the Brasileirão.

This is because only four clubs have 80 or more victories in the national championship this decade (from 2020 onwards).

The Carioca Tricolor is the new member, with 80 triumphs, only behind Atlético-MG (82), Flamengo (100), and Palmeiras (102).

The achievement of Fluminense stands out because it is the only club among the four that has not been Brazilian champion in this period, after all, the Rubro-Negro lifted the trophy in 2020, Galo in 2021, and Verdão in 2022 and 2023.

The best position of the Tricolor das Laranjeiras in this period was third place, in 2022.

Besides the interesting milestone, the triumph ended a three-round winless streak for Fluminense.

Now, the Carioca Tricolor has 31 points and occupies the eighth position in the standings.

It also boosts the team's morale, as next Tuesday (23rd), Fluminense will host Lanús at Maracanã for the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals. In the first leg, the Argentinians won 1-0.
