Savarino rues Fluminense’s defensive error, urges team to step up | OneFootball

Fluminense was defeated by Palmeiras this Wednesday, 2-1 in Barueri. The result prevented the tricolores from staying among the leaders of the Brazilian Championship. Midfielder Savarino lamented the goals conceded by the Rio team at the start of the match.

“It was a tough game, as it always is against Palmeiras. We conceded a goal right at the beginning due to our own mistake. We can’t allow a goal like that. We had the whole game to chase the result, but we couldn’t do it. We’re going to push ourselves to be better next time,” he told Globo.

Fluminense now turns its focus to the Campeonato Carioca. The tricolores will play for a spot in the State Championship final this Sunday, against Vasco, at Maracanã, at 6 p.m. (Brasília time). The Laranjeiras team only needs a draw to advance to the final.
