The first half began with a complete blackout from Fluminense. Right in the first minute, Bragantino opened the score. Vanderlan crossed into the area, Laquitana adjusted and Jhon Jhon bulged the tricolor net. In the next move, at 3, Massa Bruta extended the lead with Sasha, who received a pass from Laquitana at the entrance of the area and displaced Fábio in the finish.

Only after the second goal, Fluminense woke up. Even so, Renato Gaúcho's team found a lot of difficulty on the field. Many wrong passes and insistence on crosses, which did not generate danger. As time went by, Bragantino was getting cornered and started to only defend. In the stoppage time, at 46, the tricolor goal finally came out. Acosta gave a good pass, Canobbio adjusted backwards and Hercules arrived shooting to the back of the net.

In the second half, the film repeated: in the first move, at 2 minutes, Bragantino's goal. Laquitana received a cross from Vanderlan and scored with a header. Flu discounted with Lucho Acosta, who played his first match as a starter. The midfielder took advantage of the rebound from Guga's finish and shot for an empty goal.

In a moment of tricolor pressure for the draw, Laquitana (already yellowed) slapped Fuentes in the face. The move generated complaint from the entire Flu reserve bench, but the refereeing marked nothing.Before suffering the fourth goal, Fluminense had a great chance to draw. Soteldo crossed accurately for Fuentes, but the fullback headed poorly. Shortly afterwards, in a move of tremendous misfortune from Guga, who slipped, Davi Gomes took off and covered Fábio, scoring the fourth goal of the team from São Paulo.

With the defeat, Fluminense drops to ninth place, with 27 points, and may lose more positions by the end of the round.
