Fluminense and Atlético Mineiro will face each other next Wednesday, the 25th, at Arena MRV in a match valid for the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. Having won the first leg 1-0, any draw guarantees the carioca team a spot in the semifinals—any victory by the miners by one goal would send the match to penalties.

In last week’s match, the Warriors played a superior game and tried to impose their style at home. However, coach Gabriel Milito anticipated pressure from the opponent and aimed to control the game to avoid conceding. The strategy nearly worked.
Despite playing better than the visitors, Fluminense posed little threat to Éverson’s goal, and the match was heading towards a 0-0 draw until the 42nd minute of the second half. After a great pass from Marcelo to Keno, the forward outmaneuvered his marker and crossed perfectly for Lima to head in.
The result forces Atlético Mineiro to push for a win in front of their home crowd at Arena MRV. The Galo needs to win by two or more goals to secure a spot in the next round, while a simple win would lead to penalties. If Fluminense draws or wins, the miners will be eliminated.
