Unseen hero rescues Flu with late leveller against Vitória

Kevin Serna changed it in the 90th minute with a low right-footed strike from outside the box, earning Fluminense a 2-2 draw with Vitória. The substitute's equaliser capped a sharp cameo.

Latching onto John Kennedy's through ball on a fast break, Serna drilled into the bottom-left corner (90.), punishing a defence caught high.

From the bench, he gave Tricolor Carioca width and purpose, driving forward and delivering early crosses that forced Leão da Barra to retreat.

He completed eight of eight passes and made three successful final third passes, plus one accurate cross from three, underlining calm choices that kept Flu advancing.

With Nêgo stretched in transition late on, his timing to hit the space between full-back and centre-half proved decisive, supplying the hosts with the equaliser.

Flu sit third in the table, with Leão da Barra ninth.
