How was the game?

The match started with controversy at Maracanã. Less than a minute in, Serna was brought down by Daniel Borges at the edge of the area. The referee expelled the Mirassol defender but reversed the decision after being called by the VAR. On the free-kick, Lucho Acosta almost scored.

After the scare, Mirassol balanced the match and started creating the best chances. First, João Victor shot dangerously. Then, Yago Felipe came close to scoring. The best opportunity came at 19 minutes. Negueba shot, forcing a good save from Fábio.

However, Fluminense was not intimidated and maintained an offensive stance. Canobbio received a pass in the area but opted for a cross instead of a shot. At 30 minutes, the hosts opened the scoring. Serna took a shot from the corner of the area, the ball deflected off Daniel Borges, and went into the net.

The second half started at a fast pace. The Cariocas almost scored within a minute. Lucho Acosta received a pass in the area and shot at Walter. Mirassol responded immediately with Neto Moura. The midfielder headed dangerously from a cross. Then, Fluminense advanced again with quality, and Everaldo headed close to the goal.

The match remained open at Maracanã. Fluminense missed a great chance at 23 minutes. Serna crossed to Renê, who attempted a goal. The ball passed by Canobbio, who backheeled and almost extended the lead.
