 Fluminense got their series of mid-season friendlies off to a strong start. On Saturday morning, at CT Carlos Castilho, Tricolor thrashed São Cristóvão 5-0 in a training match that marked another step in the team’s preparations for the resumption of the season.

The standout player of the match was forward Hulk, who scored one of the goals in the rout. Jemmes, John Kennedy, and Kevin Serna also found the net, while the fifth goal came from an own goal by the opposing team. The friendly was played in two 45-minute halves.

The session gave coach Luis Zubeldía a chance to assess the squad ahead of the friendlies with fans in attendance. The first of these will be on July 8 at 8:30 p.m. against Nova Iguaçu at the Maracanã, a match that is expected to mark Hulk’s debut in front of the Tricolor supporters.

Next, Fluminense will face Bahia on July 12 at 4 p.m., also at the Maracanã. Both matches are part of the team’s preparation for the remainder of the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil, and the Libertadores.
