Fábio missed badly and Bangu opened the scoring when he had already improved on the field. If they didn’t manage to balance the match, the visitors managed to pose a threat in the first half and were efficient. Taking advantage of a wrong pass from Fábio, already outside the goal, Adsson took a first chance, almost from midfield, and scored a great goal.

With the volume of the game, Fluminense looked for a comeback at the beginning of the second half. There was time to celebrate – Bangu took the lead at halftime. However, five minutes into the second half, Keno equalized with a header. Ten minutes later, Arias made a great individual play, left a marker behind and dropped a bomb to score the turning point.
The top scorer never loses his touch! Ahead on the scoreboard, the home team continued to attack, seeking to kill the game. In the 28th minute, Cano received the ball from Arias, dominated with freedom and hit hard to score a great goal and give Fluminense peace of mind. The Colombian midfielder scored one more to turn the victory into a rout.
