In the 20th minute, John Kennedy finished off a break from Kevin Serna to open the scoring for Flu. Hércules doubled the lead in the third minute of first half stoppage time after Serna had struck the post.
Kauê Camargo kept Timão in contention with a string of saves, while Fábio was sharp at the other end.
Allan was shown a yellow, then after a review VAR upgraded it and he was sent off (55.).
With the extra man, Tricolor Carioca controlled the game and substitute Rodrigo Castillo swept in from Martinelli's pass (83.). Jesse Lingard drew a low stop from Fábio late on before André pulled one back (89.).
Flu registered 20 attempts and 60.4% possession. Timão produced 12 attempts.
