Motivated after winning the Carioca Championship, achieved last Sunday (9) with a 4-1 defeat of Flamengo, the team led by coach Fernando Diniz had ample control in the first half, immediately guaranteeing the final result thanks to goals from Nino to the 27 minutes, Keno at 34 and veteran Felipe Melo at 41.
