The miners came to Rio de Janeiro with the clear objective of containing the home team’s momentum and securing a draw for the return match, showing little inspiration in attack but strong defensive commitment. Atlético’s only good chance came from a shot by Hulk at the beginning of the second half, which was well saved by Fábio.
Fluminense, for its part, also struggled to be effective but remained calm in finding spaces. Eventually, that space appeared. Toward the end of the match, a well-worked play starting from defense culminated in a brilliant individual effort by Keno, who left his marker on the ground and delivered a perfect cross for Lima to head in, giving the Tricolor the advantage.
With this result, a draw in the return leg guarantees the team of warriors a spot in the semifinals of the competition—any loss by a one-goal margin to Atlético will lead to penalties. Before that, both teams have commitments in the 27th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro: the Cariocas will face Botafogo at Maracanã, while the miners take on Bragantino at Arena MRV.
