Fluminense cruise at the Maracanã, beat Atlético-MG with style | OneFootball

Fluminense strolled in Maracanã and defeated Atlético Mineiro 3-0 on Saturday night (4), for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. The goals of the tricolor victory were scored by Samuel Xavier, Serna, and Keno.

In the first half, Fluminense was superior, created more chances, and deservedly took the lead. The goal came from a great collective play. After a good pass from Renê, Acosta found John Kennedy inside the box. The number 99 shot, Everson deflected, and Samuel Xavier took advantage of the rebound: 1-0. At a disadvantage, Galo started to hold the ball more, but did not pose a threat to the tricolor defense. Flu still had two more opportunities to extend the lead with shots from outside the box by Canobbio.

In the second half, the tricolor dominance was even greater. Even when they had the ball, Galo did not pose any threats. And it was in an attack move by the Mineiro team that Fluminense's goal came. After a throw-in, the short Lucho Acosta headed it out, John Kennedy led the counter-attack and passed to Serna, who ran alone and displaced Everson in the finish. Atlético felt the second goal and became even more disorganized. Fluminense, who had nothing to do with it, did not forgive. Keno, who had just entered, received a great cross from Lima and headed it into the back of the net.

With the result, Fluminense reaches 38 points, surpasses São Paulo, and moves up to the 7th position.Fluminense's next commitment is on Wednesday (8), at 9 pm, against Mirassol, at Campos Maia, in a delayed match from the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship.
