📹 Sula: Fluminense lose late to Lanús, need comeback at Maraca | OneFootball

At the La Fortaleza Stadium in Argentina, Fluminense lost to Lanús 1 x 0 on Tuesday (16), in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Conmebol Sudamericana.

Overall, the match was lukewarm, almost sleepy.

The Argentinians had more ball possession, especially in the first 20 minutes and throughout the second half.

But they also didn't pose much threat to the goal defended by Fábio.

The Carioca Tricolor, on the other hand, improved in the second half of the first stage, but also didn't trouble the opposing goalkeeper.

But, in the last minute of regular time, Fluminense conceded a counter-attack after having a corner kick in their favor.

Lanús sped off on the right side, the ball reached the left, and Marcelino Moreno completed the cross in the area to secure the Argentinians' victory.

🚦 What's Next

With the loss, Fluminense needs to win by two goals advantage at Maracanã, next Tuesday (23), to achieve qualification.

The Argentinians play for a draw. In case of a Brazilian victory by one goal, the spot will be decided on penalties.

The Carioca Tricolor returns to the field on Saturday (20), when they visit Vitória, at Barradão, for the 24th round of the Brasileirão.
