Standout star carries RB Bragantino past Internacional | OneFootball

Fernando opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a right-footed strike from outside the box, setting RB Bragantino on their way to a 3-1 win over Internacional.

The forward burst away on a transition, took Lucas Barbosa's pass and drilled into the bottom right (18.) as Braga capitalised on space between the lines.

He threatened again soon after, driving from the left and seeing a shot blocked following a pass from José Herrera (22.). After the restart, his angled effort from the box forced a save (50.), keeping Inter under pressure.

Withdrawn due to injury (73.), he still finished with five attempts, two on target, four successful dribbles and eight possessions won, plus 17 of 18 passes completed, a constant release valve for Massa Bruta.

His direct carrying and early runs repeatedly tilted Colorado's defensive shape, letting his side control the decisive transitions.
