Super-sub steers Flu past Corinthians | OneFootball

Rodrigo Castillo settled it in the 83rd minute with a left-footed finish, as Fluminense beat Corinthians 3-1.

Introduced from the bench, Castillo found space in the centre of the box and swept in Martinelli's low pass into the bottom right (83.). The strike gave Flu clear daylight and released the pressure on the hosts.

He kept asking questions late on, drawing fouls and forcing a block with a drive from outside the area in the fourth minute of second half stoppage time. Moments earlier, Soteldo had teed him up on the break.

Castillo's cameo was efficient and sharp: two attempts, one on target, two touches in the box, four accurate passes from four and a defensive block, underlining how the Tricolor Carioca forward both finished chances and helped close the game out.

With Timão reduced to 10 men earlier in the half, his fresh legs pinned a tiring Coringão back line and ensured the hosts could control territory higher up the pitch.

Flu rise from fourth to second in the league and visit Coritiba next. Timão host Internacional next.
