Player says: Serna hails Libertadores goal, eyes Fluminense run

Forward Kevin Serna was one of the key figures in Fluminense’s qualification for the Conmebol Libertadores quarterfinals. The Colombian scored the goal that put the Tricolor ahead on the scoreboard against Independiente Rivadavia and helped the team advance in the competition.

Thank God, I was able to come into the game and score the goal that put us ahead on the scoreboard. Now we need to make the most of this good run, with all humility, so we can stay near the top of the table. We’re going all in.

Serna’s goal was crucial in Fluminense’s win over Rivadavia, which secured the Tricolor’s place in the Libertadores quarterfinals. The team has been on a positive run since Luis Zubeldía’s departure, with Marcão serving as interim manager.

Now Fluminense turns its attention to the Brazilian Championship. The Tricolor faces Remo this Saturday at 4:30 p.m. at the Maracanã in the 24th round of the competition. The team sits in fourth place with 38 points and is looking for another win to remain near the top of the table.
