Fluminense defeated Bangu 3-1 this Monday at Maracanã. With this result, the tricolors advanced to the semifinals of the Campeonato Carioca.
Midfielder Ganso celebrated the result, especially for scoring a goal on the day he was honored for reaching 300 matches wearing the tricolor jersey,
“We managed to control the match well. Happy for the 301 games, crowned with the goal. We want to win the Campeonato Carioca. Once again against Vasco. I hope we can make it to the final,” he said.
Ganso denied that Fluminense is the favorite against the cruzmaltinos due to the teams' current form. “It's hard to say because Vasco hasn't been getting results. They played well but didn't achieve the results, especially in the Brasileiro. We can't afford to slip up to secure the qualification.”
The semifinal of the Campeonato Carioca will be played over two games. The first will be next weekend, with Vasco as the host.
