The match, of great importance for Tricolor das Laranjeiras, which still dreams of finishing the Brazilian Championship in 2nd position, brought together the two top scorers of the national competition. But only the Argentine showed efficiency at Maracanã, scoring a goal to reach 25 and extend his lead in the artillery, in which Pedro Raul appears in second position with 19.
With the support of more than 35,000 fans, Fluminense had a great first half, in which they didn’t open the scoring thanks to the great performance of goalkeeper Tadeu. However, in the second stage, in which they had a numerical advantage after the expulsion of Dadá Belmonte in the 5th minute, Fernando Diniz’s team managed to open the scoring thanks to Cano’s eye for goal.
In the 32nd minute, Matheus Martins lifted the ball in the area, where Cano only had the trouble of deflecting his head to overcome Tadeu. The second came five minutes later, when Felipe Melo threw in the right for Michel Araújo, who crossed low for forward Alan to score for the first time since his return to the club.
Fluminense continued dominating Goiás, which had another player sent off, midfielder Fellipe Bastos. And Tricolor still managed to expand at 44 with Michel Araújo. With the victory, the Laranjeiras team is isolated in the third position of the Brazilian with 67 points, keeping the dream of taking the vice-leadership of Internacional in the last round.
