Soteldo faces criticism from Fluminense fans after draw with Sport

The situation of Soteldo is not comfortable at Fluminense. The 2-2 draw this Wednesday of the Carioca team against Sport – the bottom team of the Brasileirão – increased the dissatisfaction of the tricolor fans with the forward who was signed from Santos in the middle of the 2025 season.

Fans blame player for conceded goal

On social media, many Fluminense fans claimed that Soteldo allowed the cross that led to the equalizing goal by the Pernambuco team in the final minutes of the second half. The criticism was harsh:

“Soteldo came in, created nothing. And he still allowed all the plays on his side. Didn't challenge, invited the goal. Worst signing in Fluminense's history,” said one fan.

Another user complained about the defensive stance in the decisive play:

“Throw-in for the opponent at 51:30 of the game, with 30 seconds left and the whole team set in defense. It's a serious lack of attention and determination from this team. Soteldo letting the guy cut and cross without even getting close to him is unacceptable!” commented another.

Signed to strengthen the offensive sector, the Venezuelan forward has not yet met expectations. Since his arrival, Soteldo has played 13 games, without scoring goals or providing assists, which has fueled the fans' dissatisfaction.
