The Match

The first half in Buenos Aires was uneventful but very tactically disciplined, with Fluminense managing to be slightly superior to the home side.

Technically limited, Lanús tried to press the Tricolor in their own half at the start, but Renato Gaúcho's men knew how to control the game and finished the first half with more possession than the Argentines.

Fluminense also had the best chances of the first half. In the 33rd minute, after a beautiful play down the right, Guga received the ball from Everaldo and crossed low into the box. Fullback Renê appeared and shot first time, but used his right foot, which is not his stronger one, and missed the target.

The second half began with Lanús pushing their lines forward and once again trying to press Flu. But the Argentines showed the same difficulties as in the first 45 minutes and couldn't break through the Tricolor defense. The team moved the ball from side to side but couldn't find space to finish on goal.

The match remained uneventful with few dangerous plays until the final minutes. In the 44th minute, Flu sent everyone forward for an attack and, after a corner, was caught on the counterattack. Aquino was released down the left, found Salvio in the box, who switched play to the other side, and Marcelino Moreno struck first time to score the only goal of the match.
