Fluminense played very poorly this Wednesday (13) at the Metropolitano stadium and was beaten 3-0 by Junior Barranquilla (Colombia) in the 2nd round of Group H of the Copa Sudamericana. After this setback, Tricolor das Laranjeiras was in 3rd position in the bracket with three points, one less than the Colombian team (leader) and Unión Santa Fe (Argentina).

Junior’s victory began to be built in the 9th minute, when Albornoz crossed for Didier Moreno to finish from the right. Just before the break, the Colombian team extended with the striker Borja in a penalty kick.
In the final stage, Fluminense still created something in the first minutes, but time passed and the Laranjeiras team got lost in nervousness, ending any chance of reversing the score. And the bucket of cold water came at 49 of the final stage, when Martinelli lost the ball to Sambueza, who hit placed to overcome Fábio and give final numbers to the confrontation.
Now, Tricolor turns to the Brazilian, where they visit Cuiabá on Saturday (16) at Arena Pantanal.
