Fluminense end first half with one of their best runs in a decade | OneFootball

Fluminense finished the first half of the Brazilian Championship with 32 points and recorded one of its best first-half campaigns of the competition in the last ten years. The performance is second only to the 2022 season, when Tricolor collected 34 points in 19 rounds. In this edition, the team ended the first half in third place, but it can still be overtaken by Athletico-PR and Bahia, who have games in hand this round.The big highlight of the campaign is the attacking department. With 29 goals scored in 19 matches, Fluminense matched the marks achieved in 2017 and 2022, its best attacking performances in a first half over the last decade. Tricolor also finished the halfway point of the championship with the fourth-best attack in the competition, behind only Botafogo (33), Palmeiras (31), and Flamengo (30).John Kennedy is the team’s top scorer in the Brasileirão, with nine goals, followed by Canobbio, who has found the net four times.If the attack stands out, the defense still appears as the main point of concern. Fluminense conceded 24 goals in the first 19 rounds, an average of more than one per game, and has the worst defense among the top five teams in the championship. In addition, it kept only three clean sheets.
