Situation

To place both feet in the group stage of the Libertadores Cup, Fluminense only needs a draw or a defeat by a one-goal difference. Olimpia, on the other hand, needs three or two, in which case it will be decided on penalty kicks.

The tricolor advantage gained in the first leg

Last Wednesday (9), Fluminense received Olimpia, Paraguay, for the id game of Pre-Libertadores. The match was held at the Nilton Santos Stadium, since the Maracanã was under renovation because of the lawn.

The tricolor seeking to maintain its unbeaten streak and win the 12th consecutive victory in the year, took the lead with a goal from Germán Cano, but the advantage did not last long and Derlis González tied for the Paraguayans.  

In the second half, Flu scored two more goals to win the match 3-1, and thus conquering the 12th consecutive victory of the season thanks to two goals from Cano and Luiz Henrique.
