Fluminense hold Palmeiras to a goalless draw at Allianz Parque | OneFootball

Fluminense drew 0-0 with Palmeiras on Saturday night (22) at Allianz Parque, during the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship. The Tricolor took the field with some changes in the starting lineup, as coach Luis Zubeldía chose to rest some players and adopt a more defensive stance for the match.

In the first half, the Warriors' team efficiently neutralized the attack of the São Paulo club. Despite few clear opportunities, Flu relied on counterattacks and had two good chances with a deflected shot from Serna and a shot on the post by Lima. Meanwhile, Palmeiras wasted their only dangerous opportunity with a great save by Fábio at 36 minutes.

After the break, Zubeldía decided to bring Fuentes in for Freytes, who had been booked. On the other side, Abel Ferreira sent Raphael Veiga onto the field to increase the home team's offensive power.

Still in the first third of the second half, Fluminense had two more good chances in succession. Midfielder Nonato received a great pass from Martinelli and shot powerfully, but was stopped by goalkeeper Carlos Miguel. Continuing the play, Canobbio's shot hit the post. From the 35th minute, Palmeiras put more pressure on the Tricolor. With chances from Flaco López and Vitor Roque, the São Paulo club was unsuccessful in opening the score. With the result, the Warriors' team reached a four-match unbeaten streak.

After the draw, Flu remains in 6th place in the tournament, but could lose the position if Bahia wins this round.
